Nursery World - Nursery Management: Nursery World Awards

Behind every excellent setting is an excellent manager. Anna
Pujol-Mazzini meets up with Nursery World's Manager of the Year 2014 to
find out what makes her tick and the secrets of her success.

In 2013, Swineshead Pre-school Centre's 'outstanding' Ofsted report highlighted its 'highly skilled' manager. Carolynn Fletcher's 'dedication to providing the best quality childcare for all children motivates her staff team to work effectively together, to ensure children benefit from a continually improving provision,' it noted.

The Ofsted report came one year before Mrs Fletcher was named Nursery Manager of the Year at the Nursery World Awards. And this national recognition was not won overnight. Mrs Fletcher has worked at the Lincolnshire setting for more than 20 years and has been its manager for 15. During that time, she has acted as SENCO, fundraising manager, and even an assistant architect for a new purpose-built building.
