Meet the team

Hayley Dawson BA (Hons) PGCert EYTS

I became Manager of this lovely Pre-School in June 2017, having been Deputy Manager for two years. I completed my Early Years Initial Teacher Training at Kingston University in 2017. I thoroughly enjoy managing this fantastic Pre-School and helping the children grow and learn to their full potential!

Wendy Pearch

I am a qualified Nursery Nurse and have been working with children for the last twenty-five years! I joined the Pre-School in September 2013 and enjoy my role within this lovely team.

Nancy Blaker

I enjoy the variety of my role at the Pre-School, dealing with finance, admissions, funding, staffing and the day to day running of the setting.

Michele Roberts

My two girls, who are both now in their 20's, attended St Martin's Pre-School many years ago and I have never left since! It is obvious that I thoroughly enjoy working at the Pre-School and my role helping the children to grow and develop to their best potential!

Elizabeth Hume

I joined the Pre-School in September 2018. I have many years experience working with early years children and thoroughly enjoy my role in this lovely team.

I joined the Pre-School in October 2009, when I started my training for my Early Years qualification.

Saira Shahzad

My daughter attended the Pre-School and, after she left, I started working for the Pre-School as bank staff, holding a level 3 teaching assistant qualification. Since then, I have completed my Level 3 Early Years course and now work as practitioner, supporting the children in both morning and afternoon sessions!

Sue Murphy

I joined the Pre-School in March 2017 as bank staff and working as 1:1 supporting children with additional needs, both of which I have thoroughly enjoyed. I now work as practitioner, supporting children in the afternoon sessions. I find working in childcare is both rewarding and gives me opportunities to learn new things, within the educational system.

Nia Boyce

I joined St Martin's at the beginning of the new academic year in September 2020. I am a qualified Nursery Nurse and have worked with early years children for over 20 years!

I joined the Pre-School in March 2013 as bank staff. I have also worked at the Pre-School for many years as the "music teacher" and join the children for half an hour once each week for a fun music and rhythm session. I continue to do this, alongside my work as bank staff.
