Nursery Manager

Karly Phillips

Hi, I’m Karly, the Nursery Manager at The Learning Tree in Romford.

I have 19 years of experience in early years education, having started my career as an apprentice and gained experience across a wide range of nurseries. I’ve worked closely with children throughout my career, and those experiences have shaped my path to becoming Nursery Manager.

I’ve always loved supporting children as they grow and develop - from taking their very first steps to confidently holding conversations - and I value building strong, trusting relationships with families along the way. Supporting those bonds between children, parents, and educators is something I truly cherish.

At The Learning Tree, we’re proud of our modern, purpose-built nursery and the thoughtfully designed learning environment we’ve created. Our spaces encourage curiosity and sociability, while also offering quiet, reflective areas where children can feel secure and settled. This thoughtful approach continues outdoors, with an engaging outdoor space that encourages children to move freely between indoor and outdoor play, supporting exploration in both environments.

We work collaboratively and meaningfully with parents to ensure every child learns and develops in a way that’s right for them, both inside and outside of the nursery, celebrating milestones and achievements together. I would be delighted to welcome you to The Learning Tree and invite you to come and see our inspiring nursery in Romford as your child begins their early years journey with us.
