An incredible woman who has just won an international sporting event has taken over a local nursery. 

Erin Harris, 29, who just two weeks prior bagged the title of World's Strongest Disabled Woman, is the new manager of Northumberland Day Nursery in Whitley. 

Situated on Northumberland Avenue, Northumberland Day Nursery is part of the Complete Childcare group.

They take children from three months up to four years and currently have availability for new little ones to join.

"I worked for Complete Childcare since 2016, starting as an unqualified Nursery Assistant, gaining my qualifications through the company and working my way up to now management," Mr Harris said.

As previously reported, Ms Harris, who is from Woodley, has been crowned the World's Strongest Disabled Woman after winning Britain's Strongest only a few months prior. 

Ms Harris said the competition that took place on Saturday, November 2, went really well with her winning each one of the trials. 

She even revealed that when she was given the weights for each heat, she asked to be given heavier ones to compete with. 

When speaking about her new role at the nursery, Ms Harris said that she is loving working with the new team. 

"We are a team of eight and I couldn’t ask for a more enthusiastic bunch of ladies and gents to manage," she continued. 

"I absolutely love everything about working in early years. My favorite part of my job is watching children join us as tiny babies and grow all the way up to school leavers."

Ms Harris went on to say that she is asked all the time by the children about her 'little arm' and is always proud to show it off and feed their curiosity. 

She said: "I'm very big on inclusivity and diversity and always try to be a role model to the children in my care."

Mrs Harris was born with a condition called type four congenital ulnar dysplasia which affects her right arm.

The condition means she is missing one of her forearm bones, making the limb a lot smaller with reduced mobility in the elbow.

When it was announced that she had bagged the title of World's Strongest Disabled Woman, Ms Harris was given a trophy and a medal. 

She relayed that she was also given a further award which commended her for 'never complaining' during trials. 

"I asked for heavier weights at the beginning because I felt that some of the weights they gave us originally were quite low," Ms Harris said. 

"They were light for world level, so I put it towards them that they should provide us with heavier stones."
