Nora Lafhaj – Nora has been Brook Green Nursery manager since July 2008. She started in 2006 as a volunteer/student and completed her NVQ in children’s care, learning and development Level 4. She is also the nursery’s SENCO (Special Educational Needs Co-Coordinator qualification gained in 2019). Nora loves her weekly yoga session, lazy weekends, being a grandma, reading and long walks. Her role at the nursery is to support the team as a whole as well as each staff member individually to achieve their targets and goals. Nora supports each staff member with their key children, and together they help the children move forward in their development. She also supports the staff with planning for the environment, making sure all areas of the Early Years Curriculum are being met.

With the help of the committee, she is responsible for health and safety, safeguarding, keeping up to date with legislation, updating policies and procedures and training. On the business side, Nora and the committee also oversee the accounts, fees and filling up the nursery places, as well as ensuring the smooth running of Brook Green Nursery Ltd. Nora’s long term plan is to continue to raise standards in the nursery.
