Meet our nursery manager, Katie Parkin

I have worked in childcare for over 30 years. I’m responsible for the day to day running of the nursery in Cranwell and supporting and managing the staff.

My priorities are to safeguard the children and provide a caring and safe environment for everyone.

My partner has served in the RAF for 35 years and we have two grown up children, so I pride myself on understanding and relating to what many of our nursery parents are going through day to day.
