Hi, I’m Carrie Boyle

As Nursery Manager at Mouse’s Garden, I oversee the day-to-day running of the nursery and ensure every child has a wonderful experience. It’s a varied role that takes me from the office to the garden, supporting staff, playing alongside children, planning rotas, and dreaming up new opportunities for us all to learn, explore, and grow. No two days are ever the same, and I love being part of it all.

Community is at the heart of Mouse’s Garden, and my role is to help every member of our team flourish together. Listening guides everything we do – to children, so they feel safe and heard; to parents, so they feel supported and involved; to nature, whose rhythms inspire our days; and to one another, so we can work as a true team.

I’ve spent over 20 years in early years and primary education, from nursery classrooms to Deputy Headteacher and Lecturer in Early Years Education. These experiences have deepened my belief in inclusion, collaboration, and helping every individual thrive.

Outside the nursery, I love baking, painting, and making things by hand. I also sing in a local choir, which brings me great joy and balance.
