Hello my name is Helen and I am the Chesterton Nursery Manager. I joined the company in 2019 and have supported our nursery to achieve a secure ‘GOOD’ Ofsted rating. I have worked in Early Years for 25 years and I graduated recently with my PGCE, complimenting my BA in Education & Early Childhood Studies, Nursery Nursing Diploma and Level 4 in Childcare. I am a qualified Assessor/Verifier for Early Years qualifications and use my experience to support my team to strive to reach their full potential. The children and families are at the heart of all we do at Chesterton. We recognise the importance that these early years have on future learning and welcome everyone into our nurturing family. We look forward to meeting you!

I started working at Chestnut Nursery Schools in 2013 shortly after it had opened. I have been able to see the nursery grow and be a part of the journey here. After working for 1 year I became Baby room leader. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in baby room helping give the babies the best start at nursery. I then moved into the toddler room and became room leader there, while also taking on the role as Deputy Manager. As Deputy Manager I enjoy working closely alongside all the families and staff.

Hi! My name is Emma Plaster, I am CACHE Level 2 & 3 qualified in Early Years. I qualified 16 years ago and since then I have had various jobs within nurseries, kid's clubs abroad, customer service and leadership. I joined Chesterton in 2019 as Baby Room Leader, and was then promoted to joint Deputy Manager and now leading the Pre-school. I love working with all age groups, helping and supporting all the families and team at Chesterton.
