I’m Ginia Brown. I am the Manager of Phoenix Early Learners.   I have been involved in Early Years since 1998 and have run an early years setting since September 2006, gaining 4 consecutive Outstanding Ofsted ratings during that period.  I am passionate about children’s learning and development, but also ensuring that the setting I run is a ‘family’, ensuring relationships with all family members as well as the children.  It is due to some of those relationships formed that the Board of PEL is in existence today.  In 2019 I was awarded the Belle Tutaev Lifetime Achievement Award by the Early Years Alliance which was a huge honour, being put forward by my then staff team, many of whom are still with me at Phoenix Early Learners – a team I am hugely proud of for their dedication to the setting.  I am also a member of the Bromley Safeguarding Committee
