Hi, I’m Alison. I have many years of experience in running both preschool sessions and afterschool sessions for two year olds up to year 6 pupils. I am trained to Early Years Professional Status. As part of the training I focused on how to support children as they transition into a childcare setting and how to make the move to school as smooth as possible for children and their parents. I also run a holiday club at the preschool during the school holidays for both preschool aged children as well as primary school aged children. My favourite activity to do with children is baking – fairy cakes, pancakes, gingerbread people and biscuits.

Hello, I’m Jane, the Pre-School Leader.  I have one daughter and I have worked in childcare for many years.  I have a keen interest in outdoor learning and developing children’s interest in the natural world. Recently I have introduced Forest Friday – the sessions are based in the back garden using all our wonderful natural resources.  In my spare time, I love the great outdoors and going off on an adventure and I also love spending time with my daughter and taking her horse riding.

Hello, I’m Marie. I have been working at Bybrook Preschool since September 2017, firstly as a One to One Support, then as a Preschool Assistant. I am trained in Paediatric First Aid, Safeguarding, Level 1 Makaton and I have my Level 3 diploma for Early Years. My aim is to ensure that every child feels valued during their time at preschool. I also love teaching children through play and I feel lucky to work with a great team of staff and volunteers.
