Hi, I’m Lisa Blake and I am the Nursery Manager. I have over 30 years' experience working within childcare. I enjoy working with all the different age groups and particularly enjoy getting hands on with messy play and exploring the different textures and materials on offer for the children. I strongly believe that learning is developed, nurtured and expanded through mirroring and encouraging positive inclusive play, allowing the children to think for themselves and learn through challenges and achievements. I hold a Level 3 in Childcare and Education and a BTEC diploma in Health Studies and Social Care, Pediatric First Aid, DSL (Safeguarding Lead), Safer Recruitment and Food Hygiene certificates.
Hi, I’m Christine Wallace (Chrissie) and I am the Third-In-Charge and Designated Safeguarding Lead of the Palace Day Nursery. I lead the Little Gems room. I have worked in childcare since 2003 after completing a BA(Hons) in Sociology. I have completed studies in Level 3 and Level 4 Childcare. In 2020 I qualified in the Early Years Teacher Status. I love working with all age groups and joining in their fun and games. I love messy play and instilling a creative side with our children. I also love reading, singing and dancing with the children to lots of different types of music. I believe it is important for young children to be able to express themselves in a variety of ways.
At the Palace Day Nursery we promote active learning and support children in being independent. Our children are free to choose, explore and enjoy learning experiences, which will help them to build confidence in their own abilities and stimulate their imagination and creativity. This will provide a firm foundation for their future learning.
