I have been working with children from Early Years to Year 6 key stage for the past 10 years. Previous to this I trained as a Children’s Photographer and also enjoyed teaching classroom workshops in schools. Back in 2009 I then began my first steps into Early Years and completed my Level 2 and Level 3 NVQs in Early Years Children’s Learning and Development and in 2012 Children’s and Young Peoples Workforce 0 to 19 years. In 2013 I progressed to a Deputy Managers role completing my Leadership and Management training and Setting Safeguarding Lead, working with children up to 11 years in a large out of school provision in Norwich. I have always been extremely passionate around working with children of all ages and creating fun, exciting, rich learning and play environments to meet all children’s needs and abilities.

Hi, I’m Kerri and I am the Deputy Manager of Chestnut Nursery School St Nicholas House. I’ve worked in childcare for 10 years now and have been a room lead in baby rooms and toddler rooms. I particularly enjoy messy play and I am usually the first to get out messy activities! At home, I am busy studying a Psychology degree and am I Step-Mum to 3 who keep me super busy too!
