Nayana Korale
My name is Nayana Korale, and I have been employed at Tiddlywinks Crumpsall since November 2008. I began my career here as an Early Years Practitioner and have thoroughly enjoyed my time at the nursery. I hold an Early Years Foundation Degree as well as a Diploma in the Montessori Method.
I have worked with children for 28 years, including prior to joining Tiddlywinks, and have built a strong understanding and extensive knowledge of child development. I hold a Level 3 qualification in Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and currently serve as the SENCO, DSL and Safeguarding Lead for the nursery.
I am deeply passionate about my role and committed to providing high-quality support, education and care for all children. I take great pride in helping them learn, grow and flourish — ensuring every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential through nurturing, inclusive and developmentally appropriate learning experiences.
Our large outdoor space provides ample opportunities for physical play and exploration in a natural setting. This is vital for developing both confidence and mental agility in children.
