We believe the people working in a nursery are crucial to providing a happy and
safe learning environment. Our fully qualified staff have been chosen because of their love of, and dedication
to, working with children. Here’s a brief insight into how they became part of the Wise Owl world.
Mrs Toni Krajnik - Proprietor
I was born in Scunthorpe, completed my degree in Psychology at Manchester and went on to a Masters degree in Psychology at Hull, before becoming a qualified teacher. I then became head of two departments at the former Thomas Sumpter School in Scunthorpe. My main roles at Wise Owl are to oversee the running of the nursery and to ensure the teaching is of the highest quality.

Naomi Byrne - Nursery Manager
I have always known I wanted to work with children, so straight from school I completed my NVQ Level Three at North Lindsey College. While studying, I spent two years on various placements, including schools and childminding. I started at Wise Owl in November 2005 as a student and was quickly offered the chance to become one of the team as a nursery assistant and have worked through the ranks to become Nursery Manager, of which I am very proud. I have also completed a foundation degree at North Lindsey College.

Michelle Swettenham - Nursery Nurse
Since I started at Wise Owl in 2006 the time has flown by and i have now completed my NVQ Level 3 in childcare which has helped me to gain my promotion to nursery nurse which has really helped me to gain more confidence within my role. I throughly enjoy working with the 2-5 year olds and helping to improve their development on a daily basis. Working with children is the best job in the world and the only thing i see myself doing in the future.

Alice Hewitt - Senior Nursery Nurse
I have always wanted to work with children. After I finished school I started to work towards my level 3 in childcare. When I qualified I started working for Crosby Employment Bureau. In January 2008 I came to Wise Owl to cover. During this time they offered me a job and I have enjoyed working here ever since. I am also studying for a foundation degree at North Lindsey College.

Nicola Robinson - Deputy Nursery Manager
From an early age I knew I wanted to work in the early years sector, so that's why I worked hard to gain a B A in Education Studies with Childhood Studies at the University of Hull. I am currently studying a Masters Degree in Education and Childcare, alongside an EYPS qualification. I started Wise Owl in October 2009 as a student, but have been very fortunate to gain a full position as Senior Nursery Nurse in March 2010. This gives me a great opportunity to work in the area I have so long pursued. Also my son, Jacob gets the opportunity to experience nursery life as he attends Wise Owl in the baby room.

Kerrie Hartley-Sinclair - Nursery Assistant
I have grown up around children and childcare as my mum has been a child minder since I was young. I have always been interested in caring for children and have been fortunate to be blessed by 3 children of my own, Anneliese 4 years, Owen 2 years and Caitlin 10 months. This has provided plenty of hands on experience. My first experience with Wise Owl was in Sep 2008 when I covered temporarily for 2 weeks. I now work at Wise Owl as a nursery assistant and have been working toward my NVQ level 2 since January 2010. My son Owen is also attending and both myself and Owen are loving the new challenges, new experiences and the new friends we are making.
