Our working relationship: 'It's all about communication'

Management
In our new monthly series, two colleagues speak to Nursery World about their working relationship – how they support each other and the challenges they face

Kelly Shrimpton, nursery manager at Bambino Day Nursery, which is operated
by All About Children, and Rose Elkins, head of operations for the nursery group, have enjoyed a close working relationship at All About Children for over six years.

What are your day-to-day responsibilities?

Everything from providing rooms with hands-on support and observations to booking in family show-rounds and supporting apprentices with any training requirements.

I've been working for All About Children for six years now, and enjoy being part of the team.

I've just completed a Level 2 counselling skills training course to be better prepared to support staff with any mental health needs in a practical way, which is an area of training I'm particularly interested in, especially during these challenging times.
