HI, We’re Rachael and Lisa, Nursery Managers at St Peter and St Paul.
With over 40 years of combined experience in early years education, we both began our journeys as newly qualified practitioners straight out of college. Since then, we’ve grown into our leadership roles—Natalie proudly managing the Over 2’s for the past three years and Lisa leading the Under 2’s for five years.
Together, we feel incredibly privileged to support not only our children but also our dedicated team, helping everyone to grow and thrive each day.
Our nursery offers a rich blend of indoor and outdoor learning experiences. Children enjoy dedicated time in our woodland spaces, where they connect with nature through a variety of hands-on activities. Indoors, creativity and imagination are ignited in unique areas such as our ballpit ship, hot air balloon, and beach-themed zones—all designed to spark joy, exploration, and a lifelong love of learning.
