I have been working in childcare since 1989. I left college and started my career as a nanny. Having children of my own made me rethink my childcare career and I decided to become a childminder. When my children began their early learning I went onto further my education and started working in Pre-schools, which is where I worked my way from being a practitioner to becoming a Leader. I now have a BA Degree in Early Years and am an Early Years Professional. I have always had a deep connection with children and feel a great sense of accomplishment in helping children achieve and enjoy their learning journey throughout their early years. Working with children always gives me so much joy, inspiration and happiness. My vision for our nursery is to enable every child to reach their full potential and to do this I have a strong, highly qualified team with a range of experiences and qualities that create a warm and welcoming nursery environment.

I have been working with children since I left college in 2012 and have been working for Chestnut Nursery Schools since 2015. I have always had a passion for working with children and nothing gives me more pleasure than seeing the delight in children’s faces when they achieve developmental milestones. In 2015 at College, I qualified in Children and Young Persons Workforce level 3, I started working as a relief practitioner and have worked my way up to senior management. Working with parents/carers and children I believe enables the child to reach their full potential in the nursery environment, which makes me as an early year’s teacher feel inspired and motived to continue my early years career into the future.

My name is Robyn and I have worked in childcare since finishing college in 2015, I have experience looking after a range of ages from babies to preschool. When I started my journey at Chestnut Nursery Schools, I worked as a practitioner. Since then I have worked my way to Room Lead and now Deputy Manager. I currently hold a level five Lead Practitioner qualification and have used that to gain experience and knowledge for my role as Deputy Manager. I love watching children grow and supporting them to achieve their goals. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my friends, family and my two cats, Walle and Coco.
