As a nursery manager, I just love what I get to do for a living. I’ve been working with children for most of my life. I’ve graduated with my BA Hons in Early Childhood Studies along with my Foundation Degree, NVQ 4 and Diploma in Child Development and Early Childhood Education. One thing I love most is children are naturally curious, they have a sense of wonder and enthusiasm for play and learning, which has a positive effect on all those who work with them. I love working with children because their playful energy is contagious! They are always exploring and learning new things, and I love being part of that process of learning. Knowing that my job is to help children achieve their full potential and to help them feel happier and better about themselves, brings a huge smile to my face.

My name is Belita and I have been working in childcare for 8 years. I hold a Degree in Early Childhood Studies and I joined Chestnut Nursery Schools in 2021. In my Early Years’ experience, I have loved working with children and watching them grow and blossom. By doing this, I have enjoyed seeing children have fun with our amazing, creative activities developed for them to expand on their knowledge, imagination and interests.
