Careers & Training
WINNER: Leanne Henderson, nursery manager, kidsunlimited 'Campus Kids', University of Surrey

According to colleagues and families, Leanne 'lives, breathes and sleeps childcare, and only the best will do'. This dedication was the driving force behind her determination to become an EYP.

Leanne is a highly focused and reflective practitioner who exemplifies the benefits of undertaking the challenging Early Years Professional programme. Having achieved the status this year, she has demonstrated an ability to lead practice and the nursery as a whole.

She particularly brings her EYP expertise to bear in her commitment to families of children with special educational needs. She has worked closely with one family whose child was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition, offering the parents emotional support while they came to terms with the diagnosis and agreed the best way to support him.
