Hi, I’m Chantelle. I’ve been part of Curlys since November 2025. Before joining, I spent six and a half years working in a special educational needs setting, where I supported children in the classroom and later led Forest School sessions.

I have a real passion for working with both children and animals, and I love creating environments where young people feel safe, supported, and inspired to explore. I’m a strong believer in inclusive education—the idea that every individual, regardless of their physical, intellectual, social, emotional, or linguistic needs, has the right to learn and thrive in a supportive environment.

I love that each day on the farm is different, with so many opportunities to learn about animals and help prepare young people for adult life through hands-on experiences. I especially enjoy spending time outdoors, whatever the weather, and I bring that enthusiasm into my work through engaging, nature-based learning.
