Nursery Manager
Katie Firth

Hello, my name is Katie and I am the Nursery Manager at Newark Centre Nursery School.

For 8 years I worked as an outdoor pursuits instructor teaching jet skiing and powerboating, and this is what primarily started my love of teaching others. I then spent two years travelling America and working at the summer camps, before heading home and starting my career in childcare at a nursery in Lincoln where I trained. It was then in May 2023 where I became the manager of Newark Centre and it has been a pleasure ever since.

It is a honour to be in a position where every day I get to meet so many families and children that I can support to grow. I also have such a wonderful team that I know I can rely on to ensure our nursery is providing the best care and education for our children. We take pride in creating a loving, caring environment that feels like a home from home.

I would be delighted to meet you and your family and welcome you to our beautiful setting in the centre of Newark Town.

Cooking together

Children enjoy engaging cookery sessions, exploring ingredients and developing skills through hands-on fun. They also become curious about where food comes from, with opportunities to learn about growing ingredients, fostering a love for food.

Making a difference

Our Community

We believe in the power of kindness and the importance of giving back. We’re always looking for ways to support good causes and get involved in our community, helping to make a positive impact where it’s needed most.

Throughout the year, we’ll be organising a range of fun and meaningful fundraising activities, from bake sales and dress-up days to sponsored challenges and community events. It’s a great way for our children, families, and team to come together, have fun, and make a real difference.
