Chantelle Baron

Flying Start sends its congratulations to Chantelle Baron for gaining her Early Years Practitioner status in March 2010.

She is the second person to achieve this status in Flying Start, ( second only to our proprietor, Sharon Cowburn) though we are awaiting other results........

Chantelle has been with us the whole time we have been in business - 17 years! She has risen to the role of Senior Manager for Training and has completed her degree and now her EYP, largely in her own time though she did get some day releases to college.

She is a highly committed member of staff, regularly completing hundreds of hours of training a year. Not only is she a diligent trainee but also an accomplished trainer. She has been instrumental in the success of TLC, our training division and has over 20 NVQ students at the moment. Chantelle planned the delivery of over 3000 hours of "continuing professional development" for our staff teams last year. In recognition of the success of TLC, we were honoured to win the award for the Outstanding Commitment to Training in the 2010 Excellence in Busines Awards (see photo below!! Chantelle is much more comfortable in the forest with the children than being honoured at a black tie dinner)

In addition to all this, Chantelle leads on our Outdoor and Forest initiatives and is busy implementing ideas from her recent trip to Stockholm. Our Employee of the Year in 2003, we were able to celebrate with her in Milan, on our recent trip for all staff who had over 10 years service with us.

We are very proud of Chantelle and her great achievements!!!

CONGRATULATIONS.....CONGRATULATIONS......CONGRATLUATIONS.....CONGRATUATIONS....
