Hanneke Nicholson has worked for the Somerville Adventure Playground in New Cross for the past 30 years.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

For the past 30 years, I have worked for the Somerville Adventure Playground in New Cross, south London, and have just received London Play's 2009 award for Lifetime in Play in London. I have been here so long that I now work with second and third generations in some families. We are open all year round and I work with children aged from five to 16-years-old. New Cross is short of parks, so this playground is a valuable resource; we have our own football pitch and outside play area. We also have a very popular art room where we do lots of creative work.
