Meet Christine, Our Centre Manager
Hello, my name is Christine Simpson, and I am the very proud Centre Director of Carlton House. At Carlton House, I’m deeply passionate about ensuring that every child’s voice is heard, respected and valued.
I believe that children express themselves most authentically through play, and it is through rich, joyful experiences that their confidence, curiosity, and sense of belonging truly flourish.
By fostering environments where children lead their learning and feel safe to explore, we build the strong foundations that make Carlton House such a warm, meaningful, and special place for every family.
