Susan Fleming

Owner and Early Years Professional and graduate Teacher

My husband and I founded Moss Side Nursery in 1989 and I have worked here in some capacity ever since, only diversifying with a little bit of inspection work (to keep the nursery up to speed) and teaching French and German in my spare time, my original passion before discovering the appeal of the early years! 

At play…. I am happiest spending time with my husband and our family. I share an interest in sport with our children and grandchildren, still enjoying a game of badmington or tennis and swimming. I like all sorts of music, eating out, going to the theatre and spending time outdoors.

Level 6 Early Years Professional

I have worked at Nursery since 1999. In my role as Manager I am extremely motivated and full of fun. I lead by example, working closely with my team and my own group of children. I work well with other professionals and families in my role as Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO), and as Forest School Leader I enjoy my time outdoors with the children exploring the natural world together through real hands on experiences.

At play…. At my house I have a husband and two daughters who all keep me very busy. I enjoy my children’s hobbies, football and motor biking. I love gardening and going on long walks.
