After attaining my Level 3 Diploma, I started working for St Giles Day Nursery as a morning practitioner and have since made my way up to Room Lead and Manager of Chestnut Boutique Nursery at St Giles. I have also gone on to become one of our sites Safeguarding Lead Practitioners. I have had experience working with babies, toddlers and preschool, all of which I find thoroughly enjoyable. I have a passion for helping children to learn and develop and watching them grow. It is amazing to see how far they come when they start as small babies and progress into strong, intelligent people. There is nothing more amazing than making a bond with children, being able to comfort them when they are sad and encourage them when they are achieving. Having good relationships with parents is also very important to me, being able to reassure them and celebrate with them when their child has made an achievement is brilliant.

Hi, my name is Karly! I have a degree in Education Studies and Special Educational Needs and Inclusion (BSc Hons), I have been working in childcare since the age of 15, and have worked my way up to being Deputy Manager. On top of this, I am also a Room Lead in the toddler room and the nursery SENDCo, and have experience working with all ages in life. I have always known I wanted to work with children for many reasons, the main one being that I love knowing that when a child moves on to school, I have had an invaluable input in their life. The children are the heart of the nursery; the skills and knowledge we provide ensure the children have the best chance to thrive and I am very passionate about this.
