In the autumn of last year, we launched Little Dukes, our collection of excellent nurseries and nursery schools for the youngest learners. We are now excited to begin the new year with a new appointment at Little Dukes – Victoria O’Brien (link to profile) officially joined Dukes Education as the Director of its Early Years arm.

Victoria looks back on a long history in education, both in New Zealand and the UK, in positions such as Early Years teacher, Head of Department, Headmistress, and Ofsted Inspector. As a result of the wealth of experience she was able to gather over the last two decades, Victoria has a clear vision of what a nurturing and caring school environment for young learners looks like. She will be using this experience to support and guide all nurseries and nursery schools at Little Dukes.
