Our working relationship: Drawing on each other's strengths

Karen Fish is nursery manager at Toddletown Nursery, Godalming, and Lily Martin is the deputy manager.

Karen has worked in the early years sector for 16 years, starting her career in a local nursery. After spending time travelling and working abroad, Karen came back to the UK and the early years sector after her son started school.

Lily has been working in early years for 13 years, having previously worked in the same nursery since leaving school, where she worked her way up to manager. After having her daughter, Lily decided she wanted to spend more time with the children and has found the deputy manager role at Toddletown fits the bill.
