Meet our team

Manager & Owner

Hello, I’m Becca. In 2012, I started working in a private nursery, moving to a crèche in 2015, where I became the manager. During this time, I completed my SVQ Level 3 as well as my BA in Childhood Practice. I have a huge interest in children’s sleep and sleep habits, so in 2019 I qualified as a Child Sleep Consultant.

Over time, I realised there was a need for ad-hoc childcare so parents can have a break - a couple of hours to recharge or run errands goes a long way! I love seeing children flourish and grown and I love to build trusting relationships with the parents here at Raising Little Ones.

As well as looking after your little ones, I have two of my own Little Ones. You will probably see/hear Ava in the playroom with your children and Brodie is usually sleeping beside me while I work/ juggle parenting and work.

Lead Practitioner

Hello, my name is Orla. I have been working with children now for just over 5 years. I joined RLO in October 2021 and now, after completing my SVQ level 7 in Social Services, Children and Young People, I am the Lead Practitioner of the Playroom. and work with a number of lovely families, nannying and babysitting for them.

As well as RLO, I nanny for 2 lovely families in the afternoons!

I absolutely love working with children and have experience working with children from new born to 13 years old. During lockdown I helped with online learning/teaching for many of the families that I help on a regular basis by creating lessons that were fun and engaging.
