  All management areas covered. Including supervision and appraisal of staff, working with parents, overseeing planning, supporting children and families with special educational needs, writing reports, leading changes within the provisions. I set up a series of new initiatives. For example, mystery reader, open mornings, stay and play sessions. This all enabled parents to become fully involved with the nursery and their children’s early education. My most proud moment was achieving an outstanding grade in the last inspection in 2022 Show less
