What do others have to say about our teachers?
Inspiration, fun and exciting… a summary of what (some) parents and staff had to say about some of the teachers at Chalvey Nursery School.
"The teachers who work with in the nursery are inspirational, and they are motivators who shape the future of little minds. They excite, create awe and wonder and provide experiences that lay the foundations for the rest of their learning life. They go the extra mile every day to ensure every child is included and can join in the learning journey. It is a privilege to work with these amazing teachers and see the joy in the children's eyes as they create exciting and wonderful learning opportunities" – staff member at Chalvey Nursery School
