Meet The Manager
Jodie Baggs
Hi my name is Jodie and I have been working at Happy Days Bath for 3 years now. I have over 10 years of experience in childcare and have over 5 years of experience in management. I have a level 3 in childcare and also a level 3 in Forest school! I have recently came back to work from maternity leave after having my first child who will be starting with me back at Bath.
I love being outside and ensuring the children get to experience nature in all its wonders. I believe there is no bad weather just bad clothing.
