From a very young age I have always known I wanted to work with children, and from 2012 I started my dream job as a nursery practitioner after gaining my Level 3 Diploma in childcare and education. I quickly discovered my love for the job and how much I enjoyed looking after children in an early years setting and giving them the best opportunities to start them off in life. Since joining Sewell park in 2021, I have progressed into a room lead position for Bronte Room and have loved caring for the babies and seeing them thrive and develop in the nursery environment. It is so rewarding to see them hitting developmental milestones and knowing it has come from the caring and nurturing environment we offer here at Sewell Park. After a decade in the nursery sector, I have developed the confidence and knowledge in my various different roles and have now taken on the role of the deputy manager for the nursery. I really enjoy helping drive the nursery forward through supporting staff with their continuous development and promoting Chestnuts core values. Being a part of shaping children’s minds in their early childhood is so important and rewarding at the same time, and we strongly encourage the children to follow their dreams and aspirations.
