I have been working within childcare for most of my life, in many different roles. I have a CACHE level 3 and I have an Early Childhood Studies Degree. During my degree, I was able to expand my knowledge regarding child development and was given the opportunity to do voluntary work in children’s homes in India, which is where I completed my research for my dissertation. I have been with Chestnut Nursery School since 2015 and I have worked my way up to management. I feel these opportunities have provided me with hands-on, practical skills, as well as the theoretical side to be able to mentor and guide my team today. I also love ensuring a strong and solid parent partnership is created in order for children to achieve their full potential. I enjoy working here at Chestnut Nursery School and I am excited to create another diverse, happy, healthy and safe environment for children as well as the team, to see them flourish.
