Debbie Pinnington
Nursery Manager
I have worked for the same childcare setting for my entire career. Starting as a student then as a qualified Nursery Nurse when I achieved my NNEB qualification.
I have always been passionate about the children in my care, and they are always at the heart of everything I do and the decisions I make. I believe that when a child feels safe, secure and happy in our care their learning will naturally flourish and progress.
I am always looking to further my knowledge with courses to enhance my practice and in 2012 I completed my BA Honours in Early Childhood Studies as well as my Early Years Professional Status.
Throughout my 32 year career in childcare I have used my experience and knowledge to enhance the lives of the children I care for and support my fellow colleagues.
Carly Parker
Deputy Nursery Manager
I started my childcare profession as a nanny before I moved into nursery settings, joining Kindred Waltham Abbey as a nursery practitioner in 2000. I have now progressed to deputy manager with a BTEC Level 4 in Childcare and Education. I am one of the settings SENDCOs and hold certifications in First Aid and Food Hygiene.
I am dedicated and passionate about working in early years, striving to provide nurturing and engaging environments where all children can be safe, secure and can thrive. As a kind and supportive team member, I have positive relationships with our children, their families and my colleagues.
