Pre-school Manager, Early Years Teacher and Designated Safeguarding Officer.
I have worked at this preschool for over 10 years.
I came as a student over 12 years ago and loved it so much I never left. I used to volunteer on my days off and then was offered a job. I worked for the amazing Linda Lodge who supported me through my Degree. I then went on to complete my BA Hons and my Early Years Teacher Training. I have been privileged to be deputy to the brilliant Lisa Butler for the past 5 years. I love the pre-school and it’s ethos: learning through play. It is truly amazing to watch the children grow and develop and to be a part of their journey. I have 2 incredible girls of my own and feel the training I completed before I had my girls has helped me as a mum. Equally becoming a mum has given me a new perspective at work. I enjoy spending time with my family and lots of messy play.
Deputy Manager, Practitioner.
I’ve had many roles in my childcare career over the years since qualifying, including nanny, room leader, assessor, manager and now deputy here at pre-school where I’ve worked since my daughter was here 14 years ago! I have also lived and worked in Spain which is where I met my husband and where we had our son. We have lived in this lovely village for almost 20 years and enjoy the friendly community and all the beautiful countryside on our doorstep which our new puppy enjoys too now!
Pre-school Practitioner and Health and Safety Officer.
I have lived in Fleckney all of my life and have been married to Johnny for 42 years. I have two grown up sons, both attended this pre-school and now my eldest Grand-daughter is here. I have been part of the pre-school team for over 32 years, starting as a volunteer. My first qualification in childcare was with the Pre-school learning alliance, followed by a NVQ level 3 CACHE in childcare and education. I have Health and Safety responsibilities. In my spare time I enjoy walking my dog, knitting, crocheting and sewing.
Pre-School Practitioner and Sendco
I am from Wigston and have 2 children. I began working in childcare when my own children were young, I began unqualified and loved the sector so gradually worked up to my level 3 and also training as a SENCO, all whilst at a lovely pre school in Wigston. Being a SENCO means that I get to work closely with the children that require extra help and support for them to be able to flourish and also guiding their families through the tough world of having children with additional needs.
I also work at De Montfort University as their Head Trampoline Coach, I began trampolining when I was 5 and began coaching as soon as i was able too at 18. I love holidays away with my family in our touring caravan, I also love crafts and run a free community craft club in the local pub

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, going for walks, baking and trips to the seaside. I am an LCFC season ticket holder and enjoy watching football.
Pre-School Practitioner, Deputy Sendco and Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead
I came to Leicestershire from the North East to study English and Psychology at Leicester University. Despite working in and managing many bookshops in East Anglia and the home counties after my degree, I never really left the area. I moved to Fleckney 10 years ago when I was expecting my second child. I came to know the pre-school and staff well as my both my children attended, and once they had gone to school I volunteered. The opportunity to become more involved came when I covered some maternity leave and then I decided to earn a qualification. I achieved my level 3 Early Years Educator Diploma. I am also the leader of the unit of our youngest members of girl guiding in the village which brings me the joy of seeing girls I have known from pre-school through their Primary years too. If I ever have free time, I love to go to the theatre, read books, walking, gardening and visiting historical places.
Pre-school Practitioner.
I have been at the pre-school since January. I’ve worked in childcare since 2007 and have an NVQ level 3 in childcare, learning and development. In my spare time I can mostly be found at the park, soft play or farm park with my 2 young children and husband. On the rare occasion I am child free I enjoy going out for food, a cinema trip or getting stuck into a good book with a cup of tea and bar of chocolate.
Pre-school Practitioner.
I am very excited to be joining the pre-school after the Summer and having the opportunity to work with such a great team, parents and of course fabulous children. Both of my boys have attended the setting as young children prior to school and to this day still say it was their 'happy place' remember their key worker and often look through their old learning journeys. I hold a BTEC National Diploma level 3 qualification in childcare/early years along with many other childcare qualifications obtained too. I have worked with children for over 20 years now and lived within the village for 13 years. I knew straight from leaving school, that's what I wanted to do and still love it just as much now. My experience is mainly held with the 2-5 age group and over the years I have had various roles in nursery and preschool settings. In my spare time I enjoy my boys' sports, crafts, family trips out and looking after my pets.
Pre-school Practitioner.
Im extremely excited to be joining the Fleckney Preschool and look forward to putting my pretend tea drinking skills into action. I have worked with young children since 2005 where I originally worked in a small village primary school. Since then I have worked as a childminder and within Local Preschools.In my spare time I enjoy planning with my son our next thrill seeking activity. Theme parks, zip lining and skydiving have all been ticked off my list, I have however said bungee jumping is a big No! Football plays a big part of our family life and most Saturdays will consist of watching football with my 12 year old son at Leicester City.
