From the Chestnut @ Ray Lodge
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.
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 childrens lives, by providing stimulating learning opportunities for them so they can fulfill their potential.
I have completed a CACHE level 5 diploma for the Early Years Practitioner.
I have been working within childcare settings for 9 years and have been with Chestnut Nursery School for over 4 years now.
Within this time with Chestnuts, I have been able to thrive within my career and achieve different roles starting from nursery practitioner, room leader/third in charge and now Deputy Manager.
I have always been passionate about working with children as I enjoy supporting with childrens learning and development.
