“I am thrilled,” said Susan.
Susan went to Underbank Primary and then Lanark Grammar before embarking on her first choice of career.
“I am originally a secondary PE teacher but then I decided I wanted to work with younger children,” said Susan.
“So I opened my own child-minding business.”
But she branched out further, into organising training for those working with children and then moved to the Big Bird Nursery.
She has been described as an “inspiration” who brings her enthusiasm into the nursery every day.
