After training on the Early Years Teacher Status (EYTS) programme in 2015-16, for which she achieved an outstanding grade, Katie Walmsley used her passion for her new role in the sector to help children at newly purchased Greenview Nursery make the best possible progress.
As joint owner of Greenview, Katie’s passion for early years, along with her natural ability to lead a team, model effective practice and implement radical changes to support children’s progress, became apparent within her first term.
