Stanton Pre-School and Early Years Education

Preschool

Stanton Pre-School is a flourishing and popular early years environment in the heart of Stanton village. We welcome everyone to our setting and are proud to have families attend from Norfolk and Suffolk. 

Our Pre-School is led by a highly experienced manager Lisa French, with almost 37 years experience she is highly qualified with a BA Hon in Early Years Education and a wealth of qualifications, knowledge and experience in children and young people. She has a passion for early years and works tirelessly to create enabling environments where children can thrive. 

Our children and their families also benefit from an amazing team which consists of:

- Our very popular Deputy Manager and SENDCo Eirwen Peters is a fully qualified Early Years Teacher, with extensive experience of supporting children with additional needs. She has a passion for art and nature and uses her love of these to unlock the artistic and creative potential in every child. She truly believes that there is an artist or naturalist in every child and her passion and enthusiasm for these has been infectious beyond expectation. 

- Our bubbly Admissions Liaison staff member Nicola Baddeley, holds a Level 3 Early Years Educator qualification and a degree in Psychology. She has a wealth of knowledge in supporting our parents and carers and is always the smile that makes everyone feel welcome. She has a cheeky nature that children gravitate towards and there is always something fun and exciting going on wherever she is in the room.  

- Lucy Foreman holds a Level 3 Early Years qualification and has gained lots of experience from working with children for a number of years. Her area of expertise is with large groups of children and she can often be found surrounded by them, whilst she entertains them with her vast catalogue of songs and action games. 

- Hannah Fincham holds a Level 3 Early Years Educator qualification and is also experienced in Health and Social care. Hannah is our soft, gentle one who the children instantly go to when they want to cosy up on our sofa's and have an endless supply of books read to them. Hannah has a passion for understanding and supporting the child that needs just that extra bit of tenderness and her soft quiet nature allows them to feel secure. 

- Natalie Walker is our Toddler group representative and has just begun studying for her Level 3 Early Years Educator qualification. She has experience of working with children when she was previously a childminder. Having volunteered at pre-school and worked as a Bank member of staff, her reliability and obvious affection and kindness towards the children made her an ideal candidate to develop her role further. 

OUR MISSION STATEMENT:

“To provide high quality childcare and education in an environment that is safe and stimulating, where children learn about the world by playing, exploring and building on experiences and develop lifelong skills through play and discovery”
