Our Team
Our experienced and caring team are what makes our pre-school wonderful.
All of our team are dedicated and qualified in working with pre-school aged children. They all live in our local communities and most are mums themselves. Your child will be allocated a key person to help them settle in, help make them feel secure and record their development.

Marie
Deputy Manager
"I loved the pre-school since I visited for my son several years ago and seeing how special it was. The things I enjoy most about working at the preschool are being able to see the children grow and really build their confidence; we are a small community that builds strong bonds. We are lucky to meet such lovely families and be part of their child’s early learning journey.
Outside of pre-school I enjoy outdoor life and spending time with my own young family."
