about us
Headed up by Isabella, who works as a Private Nanny and has been in the Childcare Industry for 11 years, Pitch Up and Play is made up of highly qualified and highly awesome Play Workers.
​
We are all qualified or training in the Education or Childcare sector so we are committed to working with children. We are all DBS checked, experienced and fully referenced. Most of us are Teachers, trainee Teachers, Nursery Nurses and Nannies. You could say the crème de la crème of childcare and entertainment!
​
When you book with us you'll get a bunch of fun, creative and happy individuals who are rather partial to a flower crown and a sausage roll.

Chloe
Hi, I’m Chloe! I’m a Mummy to our 3 year old dinosaur-mad boy! I have plenty of experience working with children, 12 years worth! I’ve worked as a Nanny for many years aswell as in a Nursery setting, providing Wedding childcare and at the Children’s hospital.
I absolutely love kids! Love the way they bring so much fun and sunshine to our lives, tantrums aswell but that’s ok too!
From the snuggles, nappy changes & milky smiles when they’re really small to the beautiful imaginary play, love of books & just their little voices when they start talking… Love it all!
In my spare time I enjoy a good old pamper session, cuppas with friends and baking dog treats! As a family the things we most enjoy are long dog walks, treating ourselves to a brekkie at the cafe and spending time with family.
Linda
Hi, my name is Linda and my background is in teaching, where I held various roles over the thirty years of my career in Early Years education.
I am qualified in Special Needs and Forest School teaching as well as being trained as a massage in schools facilitator.
For twelve years of my teaching career I ran my own nursery school from home and it was a wonderful experience.
I am still passionate about children’s early development and hope my experiences as a teacher and as a mother of four children, allow me to be confident in my provision for the children assigned to my care.
