After our passion, what is the next most important thing you should know about us?
That’s easy: our incredible staff! Pure and simple. They are the heart of our family and what makes us unique. Our inspiring and passionate staff are the reason we hold the coveted ‘Top 20 Nursery Group 2024’ award and, year after year, are recognised in the prestigious NMT Nursery Awards and Nursery World Awards.
Dedicated to being the best that a family could ask for, our nursery staff are constantly developing themselves through our training programme run by childcare and EYFS experts. It is not just our little ones who are the passionate lifelong learners here at Kindred!
Jessica Angell
Nursery Manager
I started working with children in 2003 where I began my training for my level 2 and 3. My journey at Odstock began in 2014 when we first opened. I worked alongside the then manager to set up and develop the nursery and with the embedding of our ethos and practice, which we are still so passionate about today.
I began as the baby room leader and while the then deputy was on maternity leave, I stepped up into the position of Deputy Manager and maintained it until being promoted to Nursery Manager in 2022.
I feel really passionate about respectful care in young children and strive to create strong relationships between adults and children. In March 2019 I got the chance to visit Budapest where I took part in a week’s course to understand more about respectful care and how important freedom of movement and relationships are for young children to develop and to feel safe and secure within their environment.
Megan Buckley
Deputy Nursery Manager
My journey started with Kindred Odstock after completing my Level 3 in Childcare at college. My career began as a practitioner in the preschool room before transitioning into the Toddler room where I worked my way up to Room Leader whilst completing my Level 5 in Early Years. I was then able to put my interest of working with young children into practice and found my passion for providing caring and nurturing environments for children to learn and develop at their own pace.
After 5 years at Kindred I was given the opportunity to expand my experiences and went to work for the local Children's Centre; supporting families, gaining safeguarding knowledge and working alongside other professionals.
I returned to Kindred Odstock in 2022 as the Room Leader for Preschool and have recently been promoted to Deputy Manager.
