Susan Livingstone - Play Leader

I have been the Play Leader of Compass for 9 years now, having previously run my own childminding business in Balerno for many years.  I have 3 children of my own who also attended Compass Playgroup. I have also completed my SVQ 4 Qualification in Childcare.

I love working at Compass Playgroup because it has a bright and cheerful environment and we enjoy being part of the community

Michelle Rutherford - Assistant Play Leader

I've worked in childcare for 10 years, gaining my SVQ 3 through an apprenticeship course while working at Jigsaw Nursery. I spent 3 years at Jigsaw before leaving to be a nanny for a local family in Balerno. I have been working at Compass for 9 years now, and I love the great sense of community in Balerno and the children are great fun.

Adrienne Wilson - Play Assistant

I have worked in childcare for 19 years.  After I completed my HNC in Childcare & Education, I worked in private nurseries before setting up my own childminding business. After my own children had started school I was looking for a change, so I jumped at the chance to work at Compass. I have been here now for 9 years and find it a lovely place to work, with hours that allow me to fit perfectly round school.  I've also taught gymnastics to half of Balerno, having coached at Pentland gymnastic club for the past 27 years.

Rhona Arthur  - Play Assistant
