Helen Torr is the owner-manager of a successful Montessori nursery in rural Shropshire. She was awarded EYPS in September 2007 after completing the short pathway at Edge Hill University.
Helen submitted written tasks demonstrating how she met the 39 standards within her setting and through her leadership of others. She had completed a training needs analysis with the university which identified that further experience was needed with the birth-to-three age range.
Helen went on a ten-week placement in a nursery where she worked with the staff to introduce treasure baskets. This provided evidence for her written tasks to meet Standard 11. She demonstrated her ability to work collaboratively within a team and lead and support others in their practice.
