Your Session Leader
Hi, I’m Eleanor, owner of Teenie Rockets Braintree & Witham.
My rocket ship adventure with Teenie Rockets started back in 2023 when I was a new mum with a newborn baby. I’d been to a few groups where I felt a little uncomfortable, so I was nervous, but straight away my worries were gone as I found the classes fun, inclusive and warm. I want to bring that experience to as many families as possible!
I’ve worked in the public sector my whole adult life, but having my two daughters 17 months apart ignited a spark in me and made me realise how passionate I am about child development and providing nurturing experiences and opportunities for our little ones. I’ve since completed a qualification in caring for children and young people and have thrown all of myself into this exciting new opportunity.
Our classes are adapted to suit the age group of that session, which is a perfect way to ensure everyone (including the grown-ups!) wants to get involved.
I’m so thrilled to be continuing this adventure from behind the driver’s seat and can’t wait for you to come along on the journey.
