Helen Taylor (Chair of Governors)

My name is Helen Taylor and I am the Chair of Governors.

I have had links with Ribblesdale Nursery since 1994 when three of my own children attended and in recent years in my role as a childminder.

I have lived in Clitheroe for most of my life and have been a registered childminder for over 25 years so have a sound knowledge of the Early Years Foundation Stage, Child development and hold a level 3 qualification as well as the Lancashire Quality Award.

I have a special interest in supporting children with special and additional needs.

I have helped with forest school activities and come into nursery whenever time allows.   

Amy Rudman 

My name is Amy Rudman. We moved to Clitheroe in 2021 and our daughter attended Ribblesdale from then until she started school. I became a Parent Governor when our daughter started. Our son started his journey with Ribblesdale in Cascades at the start of this year.

Ribblesdale provides an excellent setting for children, and I especially support the foundations it provides to starting primary school, including establishing routines and structured learning. My daughter has SEN, so I am especially interested in education supporting children with these needs. Ribblesdale were wonderfully supportive with our daughters transition from her previous nursery and all her time spent there.

I am a qualified and experienced Environmental, Health and Safety Manager, and I use these skills in assisting the Nursery school with advice and knowledge in these areas in my role as Governor, ensuring they continue to sustain a safe and secure environment for children to thrive.
