Jodie Tucker

I began my career in early childhood education and care in 1997 and started working at Creative Garden Coombabah in 2021. I hold a Diploma in Childhood Studies. I have experience with all age groups and have worked as a Centre Manager for the last few years.

My family and I moved to Australia from the UK, nine years ago. My own children were just 2 years old and 6 months old at the time and being able to bring them to work with me was just fantastic. I love watching children grow, hearing the funny things they come up with and then sharing these experiences with their families. I have always enjoyed working with children and I could not imagine doing anything else.

I have always said that it takes a village to raise a child and I love this about childcare. Community engagement plays a huge roll in my life as having no one to call on when I first arrived in Australia, I know firsthand how important it is to build relationships and receive support especially when children are involved.

“The way we talk to children becomes their inner voice”, This quote from Peggy O’mara underpins my everyday practices, I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for all children, so they become kind, caring, confident adults.

By creating and providing an environment where the children feel safe and supported, they form healthy relationships with other people. They develop their social skills and learn how to get along and take turns, communicate their ideas, and become healthy independent individuals.

I am so lucky to work alongside some amazing women. Each lady I work with at Coombabah comes with a wealth of knowledge and experience. The centre has a wonderful, homely atmosphere where the children know all the educators across the service. You can actually “feel” the love these educators have for all their children.

Our team understands just how important your children are to you and we ensure we take our responsibilities seriously. Creative Garden Centres has extensive policy and procedures in place to assist our team in protecting children in our care.

We understand that starting at a new centre can be overwhelming and that is why from the very first enquiry, we make sure that we address all your questions one by one. We walk families through all the forms and administration that need to be done, this includes enrolment forms, Child Care Subsidy (CCS), explaining subsidies, government caps, centre schedules, our centre menu and more.

I strive to make time for the whole centre community, my door is always open, and I am there for a chat and to support you. As parents we want our children to be cared for by family and friends, my wish is for every family attending our service to feel like our family.
