Audrey Jamieson
Senior Early Years Practitioner
“I am a Senior Early Years Practitioner and I have worked at Wellington Nursery for 16 years.Our indoor nursery is often likened to the castles found in fairytales and our outdoor nursery has a spectacular wooded area where the children can immerse themselves in the wonder of nature. I am lucky to be in the privileged position of being at the beginning of a child’s journey, where every day they can be a scientist, an inventor, a mathematician, an author and an artist. It is a magical place to work.”
Shona Thomson
Early Years Practitioner
“I have worked in the Wellington Nursery team for 18 years and it is a pleasure to be part of every child’s learning journey. I love to see the confidence and independence skills growing in each child from their very first day until the day they move on to Primary 1. I am very proud to be part of such a wonderful establishment.”
Carol Gibson
Early Years Practitioner
“I have worked in our Nursery at Wellington School for 25 years. My last 8 years have been spent at the Outdoor Nursery. Our woodland is an amazing place for our children to play, learn and explore. The children learn to respect all living things, in a beautiful, natural setting. It is a fabulous place to work everyday. The best part of my job is encouraging the children to take risks and build their confidence”
Aileen Hamilton

“I have been an Early Years Practitioner at Wellington Nursery since January 1999. The nursery has a friendly, family, nurturing atmosphere with a very experienced and established team. It is a pleasure to observe the children’s confidence grow and be part of their important early years experience.”
Linda Fleming
Early Years Practitioner
“I have been an Early Years Practitioner at Wellington School Nursery for 15 years.
Everyday, as I come to work, I am still in awe of the amazing building that I work in.
I feel like I have the best job in the world as no two days are the same and everyday the youngest children in the school make me laugh.”
Gilli-Ann McKenzie
Early Years Practitioner
“I am an Early Years Practitioner and have been part of the Wellington family for the last 14 years. I have had the pleasure of working in both the Indoor and Outdoor environments, where I have been able to observe children grow and develop to the best of their abilities whilst being supported by an experienced team of lovely ladies. The nursery really is a magical place, one day you may be going on a trip to the moon and the next you could be going on a bear hunt. Everyday really is a learning day when you work in the nursery!”
Alina Siehodina
Early Years Practitioner
“I am delighted to be part of the early years team. I believe every child is wonderfully unique, and being part of their journey is a truly special and meaningful part of my work — creating a space where they feel safe, confident, and free to grow in their own time and way.
This philosophy is deeply embedded in the environment that has been thoughtfully created at the nursery. It provides a warm and caring space that gently supports children’s independence, follows their individual interests, and nurtures their natural curiosity and strengths.”
