Stephanie Mahon
Owner of RagamuffinsMy role is to oversee everything we do. Ultimately it’s my responsibility to make sure all the children are happy, busy and engaged during their time with us.
I’m very fortunate that the entire Ragamuffins team is so passionate, skilled and professional, and we all love what we do.
It’s tremendously satisfying to know that we are making a positive difference in their lives as they grow and mature.
We never rest on our laurels, we’re always exploring opportunities, undertaking training and applying new learning to ensure we’re providing the best possible service

Susanne Cartwright
Manager & Early Years TeacherChildren are naturally curious and a key element of my job is to stimulate their senses and help them explore new topics and areas of learning.
We build up a rapport with them and treat them as little adults, always respecting each child’s individuality.
It helps to not take yourself too seriously in this job – the children love nothing more than having a good giggle at my expense!
It’s great to hear parents say that Ragamuffins is a ‘fantastic nursery’ – a real tribute to the professionalism and commitment of the entire team.

Natalie Crawford
Manager & Early Years TeacherEvery day we come to work we share in the children’s excitement as they learn new things and have so much fun.
Capturing such happy moments and witnessing their development is one of the biggest joys of my job.
We’re constantly seeking ways to deliver even better outcomes for the children, so they’re fully prepared, ready and able to start school.
We have a great sense of teamwork and all the staff get along really well.
