Alyth Kindergarten’s headteacher shortlisted for top accolade
'I love knowing that I am contributing towards improving children’s life-long outcomes,' said Alyth Kindergarten's headteacher Victoria Alter
Alyth Kindergarten’s headteacher Victoria Alter was among six nominees shortlisted for a prestigious early care award last week.
She was among six nursery managers across the country vying for the accolade at the Nursery World Awards in Islington last week.
The Nursery Manager of the Year award, which was given to Ginny Andreas of the Little Adventurers Nursery in Upminster, recognises best practice, as judged by six judges.
Alter said: “I love knowing that I am contributing towards improving children’s life-long outcomes as well giving the children the very best start in life ready for when they move on to school”.
“It’s great to have the recognition for what we all do. I would like to thank all my amazing staff team who work so hard to make Alyth Kindergarten such a special place,” she added.
Deputy Head Lara Thomas, who was among those to nominate Alter for the award, said: “I call her the ‘Duracell Bunny’ as she has so much energy and enthusiasm and is an inspirational leader”.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
