My name is Kelly. I am the manager here at Clare Park. I joined the team here in 2008 as an Assistant Centre Director and progressed to Centre Director in 2009.

I have worked with babies and young children since 1998, and this is my 2nd managerial role. I have two children, both of which attended the nursery, and holiday club.

I hold a CACHE level 3 Diploma in Childcare and Education and achieved an NVQ level 4, and more recently, a Level 5 in Leadership and Management since joining the team here at Clare Park.

My passions for the nursery are providing varied and stimulating outdoor play for all children as well as making strong links with our local community. There is nothing I enjoy more than an extra curricular event, we have been very lucky to enjoy some fabulous events over the years ranging from Royal Weddings to Scarecrow celebrations!

My personal passion is providing children with awareness of our world and how we can protect nature and support our own wellbeing simultaneously. Our exciting new Friday Club for our preschool children, promotes skills and awareness of these important features of our daily life whilst also encouraging healthy lifestyles.
