Meet our nursery manager, Katie Atkinson

I became inspired to work with children and families following a nursery work placement here at RAF Boulmer. My career has developed over the last 11 years, from achieving my level 3 childcare qualification to progressing to room leader, to deputy manager and now nursery manager. Childcare has always been a passion, I love watching children grow, learn and flourish. I understand the challenges military families face and have seen first-hand the positive impact of delivering high quality childcare can have for children and their families in the community.

As a former child of our nursery, I am so proud to be the Nursery manager at RAFAKidz Boulmer. I love being part of the great team we have here, I feel very lucky to be being able to support children, parents, families and staff.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my children and family, going to the beach and socialising with friends.

About RAFAKidz

RAFAKidz currently operates five nurseries at RAF Odiham, Cranwell, Leeming, Brize Norton and Digby. Within each of our settings we provide experiences that are special, unique and child-focused. All our nurseries are fully OFSTED registered, and we pride ourselves on our commitment to safeguarding and quality assurance. As a not-for-profit trading subsidiary of the RAF Association, RAFAKidz can focus on providing a high-quality service to RAF families, rather than on making commercial profit.

In 2019 RAF Community Support at HQ AIR identified that the availability of childcare is a key concern for serving RAF families and that access to quality, affordable childcare is critical. RAFAKidz was established in 2019 as a direct response to that need.
