“The team at Jenny's Soldiers Hill were amazing in the transition from previous kindy and daycare to their centre making my kids and myself feel so welcomed and cared about. Now the kids are back to asking everyday if it's kindy/daycare day!!!”

Nikki Davis

Centre Director
Early Childhood Education & Care · More than 5 years’ experience

I've been working in the early childhood sector since 2019, starting my career as a Centre Chef at Delacombe before discovering my passion for working directly with children and families. I joined Jenny's ELC almost three years ago, progressing from Room Assistant Educator to Educational Leader, and more recently into the role of Centre Director at Soldiers Hill — a journey I'm incredibly proud of.

I'm passionate about creating a warm, welcoming home away from home for children and families. I love watching children begin their journey in our nursery and supporting their growth as they move through the centre. I'm a strong advocate for messy and sensory play, and my favourite part of this work is the long-lasting, trusting relationships I build with children, families, and the educators I work alongside every day.
