Manager & Deputy Manager
Lucy Friddin
Manager, Chestnut Nursery Schools Ray Lodge
I have been working within childcare for most of my life, I have done voluntary work within my local community as well as in India for a few weeks. I have a CACHE level 3 and I have completed my Early Childhood Studies Degree, this is when I built upon my career as an early years practitioner. When Chestnut took over the nursery in 2015 I was a room leader, they were able to change the environment to a happier and more welcoming place to be. I really felt that it was just what the nursery needed, Chestnut where able to see the full potential within the nursery as well as the staff. Shortly after I was promoted to a deputy manager and now I have been a manager for just over a year. I love working here at Chestnut Nursery Ray Lodge, we have a diverse, happy, healthy and safe environment. I love working with children as I feel that I make a change to the children’s lives, by providing stimulating learning opportunities for them so they can fulfill their potential.
Chanel Byfield
Deputy Manager, Chestnut Nursery Schools Ray Lodge
My name is Chanel Byfield and I qualified with a Level 3 Diploma in Children’s Learning and Development. I have worked within childcare for the past 6 years, where I have successfully worked my way up from beginning as an apprentice studying level 2 childcare, to a room leader and now to a Deputy Manager which I have been for the past 4 years. Working with children has always been a passion of mine from a young age, as I feel for me there is nothing more rewarding than supporting a child to learn and develop skills, exploring their abilities as well as the environment around them, to see them achieve and support them becoming confident, strong and independent children.
