“I really enjoy leading the Nursery Team at Banstead Prep and welcoming families, so we can work together to achieve the best start in your children’s educational journey. In the Nursery it is paramount for children to gain independence through learning and having a supportive team will enable them to be confident and active learners.”

She completed her BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Education in June 2019. She has a high level of enthusiasm and knowledge to be able to support the children within the Early Years, academically, socially and with their emotional well-being and overall holistic development.

“I am passionate about play-based learning which is a huge part of the Early Years Foundation Stage. I look forward in continuing my work in partnership with parents and children at Banstead Prep, alongside Hayley and the team.”

Claire took a career break to start a family and during this time became involved in a playgroup which developed her interest in children’s education. She then qualified as a level three Nursery Practitioner and has worked in early years settings since 2011.

“Working with children is hugely rewarding and no two days are the same. I enjoy helping children develop self confidence in their abilities and particularly enjoy using role play resources to develop their communication, imagination and social interaction with both adults and their peers.”

In 2014, she began working at the Nursery at Greenacre and has been working with Miss Compton since then.

“When I am not chauffeuring my children to various after school activities I like to read, cook and shop!”
