Ann Kristine

Head Teacher

I have worked in Early Years Education for over 12 years, primarily in Norway. I have worked with all age groups during my years in the Early Years sector.

I moved to London with my British husband and our daughter a few years ago and I have worked in both English settings and now in our Kindergarten. I did my degree in Early Childhood Education whilst working in a kindergarten in Oslo and I have extensive experience with multicultural kindergarten environments. I love reading, travelling, and spending time with my family and friends.

I believe in a holistic approach to Early Childhood Education, and I am focused on treating all humans, both big and small, with dignity and respect.  

Martine

Deputy Head Teacher

I moved from Norway and started working in The Norwegian Kindergarten in September 2023. I hold a bachelor’s degree from Queen Maud University College of Early Childhood Education and went to Norwegian University of Science and Technology for my masters where I studied Education and Upbringing.
I am naturally a curious person, and exploring new countries, cities and areas is something I enjoy. I bring my curiosity into the kindergarten, and I enjoy encouraging the children’s creativity by incorporating their interest into arts, crafts, and conversations - allowing their passions to shape engaging and meaningful experiences. 

I strive to be a comforting presence for the children in our kindergarten, prioritising their sense of safety and well-being, and fostering an environment where they feel secure and supported. 

Agnes

Classroom Leader

I made my move from Norway to England to do a BA in Early Childhood Studies in September 2020 and started working in the Norwegian Kindergarten in London 2022. I have experience with working in both mainstream and Montessori kindergartens in Norway and have expanded my experience by working with children (and adolescents) with special needs and/or disabilities during my time in England. 

I’m passionate about making my teaching accessible for all children’s individual needs and ways of development, and I’m a firm believer of learning through play! I have a background and love of drama and theatre and use this in my everyday interactions and play with the children. I believe the most important work I do is to make the children in our kindergarten feel cared for, and like they’re an invaluable part of the classroom. 

Elisabeth

Teacher

I have worked in the Norwegian Kindergarten in London for five years. I am originally a primary school teacher from Norway, but I also have early years childhood education from the Montessori Centre in London.

I enjoy outdoor activities, have a great fondness for old trees and Wombles here in England and I am always on the lookout for the perfect climbing tree. I like skiing, cross-country and downhill. Snow in general is great!

Mountain hikes, paddleboarding, and paddle are also activities I enjoy doing in my spare time. The Norwegian Kindergarten in London is perfect for me since we spend so much time outdoors.

Otherwise, I appreciate simple crafting activities, photography, and books. Currently, I am pursuing further education in Norwegian at OsloMet in Norway.

I have cared for children both in the UK and in Australia. I started working in The Norwegian Kindergarten In London in January of 2024.

I enjoy supporting children’s learning and emotional well-being. I respect children learning through play and outdoor learning.

In my free time I very much enjoy travelling, listening to music, cycling and nature.

I am happy to gain professional experience in our kindergarten.
