Meet the Team

Torridon road -  Temporarily closed due to a fire in a neighbouring business.

The staff team working within the nurseries are a diverse team of professionals who bring a wealth of experience, qualifications and knowledge. 100% of our staff are already trained or are training towards formal childcare qualifications including Higher National Certificate, Professional Development Awards and Degree level.

A quarter of our staff team also exceeds the recommended qualification level by actively undertaking further accredited training up to degree level.

Pamela GallPamela Gall
Registered Nursery Manager and Nursery Director at Balgillo Nursery

I qualified in 1997 from Dundee College as a nursery nurse and since then I have worked within a range of settings. I feel that I have the most experience and knowledge of the private sector, where I have worked at all levels, including manager. Before working for myself at Balgillo Nursery my most recent employed post was within the Education Department of Dundee City Council where I worked closely with the voluntary sector.

Professional development is very important to me and I have continued to study since first qualifying and achieved a Bachelors degree in Childhood Practice with Dundee University in the summer of 2014. I am fully registered with the Care Commission and Scottish Social Services Council. 

I hope that you find the information about the nursery and staff team interesting and informative. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact myself or the team. 

I hope to meet you all soon.

Kim Lee
Development Manager at Balgillo Nursery

Since qualifing to HNC level in 2000 at Dundee College I have worked within a range of settings at home and abroad. I have also worked at all levels, including manager.

I joined Balgillo Nursery in 2008 where I worked as Depute Manager. I also have a keen interest in the development of Balgillo Nursery and Balgillo Nursery Too.  Pamela and I continue to work alongside our newest team members to develop the practice withing the nursery and ensure that this operates to a high level also.

Pamela and I have previously worked together so I know that we share the same values and beliefs when it comes to high quality care and education. Ongoing professional development is a big part of this and I qualified in June 2011 with a Level 8, Professional Development Award through Dundee College and in 2016 I achieved a PDA level 9.

I look forward to meeting your family soon and welcoming you to Balgillo Nurseries.

I started working at Balgillo Nursery in July 2015. Prior to starting at the nursery I was a child minder for a number of years in the Broughty Ferry area and have always enjoyed caring for and working with children. I achieved an SVQ level 3 from Dundee College in 2006.

I would describe myself as a happy and outgoing person who is enthusiastic about experiencing new challenges. I currently work part time at the nursery and  I look forward to working with your children and families.

I have been with Balgillo Nursery Too since 2019 and during this time I have became an Early Years Practitioner and gained my SVQ3.

Through my time at the nursery I have worked with all age ranges, where I currently closely work with the children in the 2-3 group. I enjoy working with the children and providing new and exciting ideas to enhance their learning.
