Chair

Hi, I became chair of Bybrook preschool in July 2016.  I have lived in Yatton Keynell for most of my life, I have 2 boys, age 14 and 3, my 3 year old attends preschool and absolutely loves it.  I have worked in early years before and enjoyed every minute so I am really excited to be back involved in a fantastic preschool setting.  I love nothing more than spending quality time with my family.  I always encourage my children to be the best they can be and encourage them to reach their full potential in everything they want to achieve.  In my spare time I enjoy going for long walks in the countryside, baking and reading.

Zoe McGinn

Treasurer

My husband & I recently moved to Yatton Keynell. As soon as our daughter turned 2 we sent her to Bybrook, which was her first experience of a pre-school  and she absolutely loves it. It’s a fantastic environment & I have since joined the committee as Treasurer to help other children be able to share what our daughter loves so much.

Claire Campbell

Committee Member

I moved to the area in March 2014 with my husband and two children.  My youngest joined the pre-school for a year and a bit before moving on to By Brook Valley School and I joined the Management committee in September 2014 and have continued to offer my support despite no longer having any children in the pre-school.  I am known for my tenacious personality and positive outlook and am often the voice encouraging people to go for it!  I enjoy spending time with family and friends and going on adventures.

Emma Foreman

I first joined the committee in 2013 when my youngest child attended the pre-school. I found it a great way to get to know people in and around the village and enable me to be actively involved in the local community. I live in Yatton Keynell and have two daughters, I also work part time as a Traffic Engineer.

Becky Maclean

Committee Member

We moved to the area 5 years ago and our oldest has been at pre-school for a year. He loves every minute at pre-school and I hope that being part of the committee I can continue to help the pre-school be a wonderful place for children to grow and learn.
