The Faversham management team
Nursery Manager
Jemma Silvester
I started my career in childcare over eight years ago as a nursery apprentice working my way up as I completed my qualifications resulting in a BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Education and Care. I am passionate about early childhood as the opportunities that the children have now build foundations for their future wellbeing and learning. I strongly believe in children’s exploratory play and engaging them with the outdoors as risky play from which children can promote their own independence and critical thinking.
Assistant Manager
Kirsty Mercer
I have worked in childcare for seven years, five of those being at Faversham Montessori. I started as a nursery nurse and I've worked my way up to assistant manager. I have experience working with all ages and have been supervisor of two's and preschool. I have always wanted to work in childcare and have a passion for helping children learn and develop. I enjoy working for Townsend Montessori because we have such a supportive and friendly team and we provide a range of fun activities for all the children.
