Nursery World - Spotlight on ... David Norbury, Nursery Assistant

Name: David Norbury

Position: Nursery assistant at Kids Allowed in Knutsford, Cheshire

- How do you feel about being named a finalist in the National Day Nursery Association's awards for Nursery Practitioner of the Year?

It's great. I didn't have a clue that I had been nominated. I didn't even know that awards like these existed until I received a phone call from the NDNA telling me I was a finalist. I thought it was a wind-up to begin with, being the only man at the nursery.

- Who nominated you for the award?

Parents nominated me for the award, as their children are always talking about me and often follow me around the classroom. I get on really well with the parents and try to be honest with them about their child's day.
