Kathryn Solly has worked across all ages of education, from babies to tertiary including being an Ofsted inspector and a headteacher for Chelsea Open Air Nursery School for 17 years.
She’s now a specialist Early Years consultant, trainer and speaker with a passion for outdoor play, learning and leadership, and she has written a super book which is called Risk, Challenge and Adventure in the Early Years. She’s also a proud parent and grandparent.
