I began working in childcare in 2003 after I qualified, I started work as a class room practitioner working my way up through various companies to become a Nursery Manager for Chestnut Nursery School 7 years ago, with 15 years experience it has been a very rewarding journey working with lots of children and families. Throughout this time, I’ve worked in various Borough’s including Hackney, Newham and Barking, with each borough offering different experiences. Each day I aim to ensure high quality child care is provided to all children encouraging their age and stage abilities in all areas of development and supporting children with SEND. I feel a close partnership between us as the nursery and alongside parent/carers, outside agencies and children is vital for each child to develop their individuality’s and allowing them to grow to become independent, confident learners.
