Kayleigh Morrissey
Kayleigh says:
My passion lies in helping children achieve and develop their skills through my knowledge and experience. I enjoy building children’s confidence, supporting them to play and learn and being able to see children accomplish which makes me proud. My interests out of work are spending time with family, dancing and listening to music.
Jennifer Thomas
Jennifer says:
I have worked in childcare for over 25 years and therefore love to share ideas and experiences with the Duchess children and staff team. I oversee the curriculum for both under and over 3’s and my commitment and dedication to the nursery are seen through my activities and interaction with children, ensuring they are always happy and learning. My interests out of work are watching television, reading any interesting articles and listening to music and most of all exploring my environment around me.
Maha Salem
Maha says;
I enjoy making fresh lunches, teas and snacks for the Duchess Children who always make me smile. Being a trained practitioner means I can help out as needed when I am there and love time with the children.
