Hi my name is Vicki , I have been working at Hartest Preschool since qualifying at level 3 and have a BA Hons in Early years.
I have four children of my own and three have attended Hartest preschool and graduated onto Hartest Primary School.
I love my work with the children and enjoy seeing them develop as individuals.
If I ever have any spare time I enjoy going for country walks or bike rides with my family. We also like to visit different places and test out their cakes.
I am very much looking forward to getting to know you and your family :-)
Hi, my name is Yasmin. I have a Bachelors Honours Degree in Early Childhood Studies.
I joined Hartest Preschool as a Preschool assistant in 2016, becoming the Deputy Manager in 2017 and then the Preschool Manager in 2021.
I have loved working here, in the various positions, over the years. Hartest Preschool is a very special place.
I really enjoy watching and helping children to learn and develop, making a difference in their lives and having fun whilst doing this!
I like to spend my weekends and spare time socialising with friends and family.
I look forward to welcoming you to our lovely Preschool, and getting to know you and your family!
Hi, my name is Fallon. I have worked at Hartest Preschool since 2017 and completed my apprenticeship in childcare during my time here and am now Level 3 qualified.
Before joining Hartest Pre-school I worked in animal care. Myself and my two sons love animals and have had many pets over the years including; Dogs, a Bearded Dragon, African Land Snails and a Leopard Gecko. We enjoy spending time together as a family outside, whether its going for a muddy walk or going to the park.
I look forward to getting to know you and your family as you begin your pre-school journey.
Hi, my name is Emma. I joined Hartest pre-school in January 2024, I have got a level 3 in early years and have worked in education and early years since finishing Uni, where I studied Architecture! I previously worked in a forest school, and I love being outside and splashing in muddy puddles!
I have got three children who keep me busy, and my youngest currently attends Hartest pre-school too. I have also got a dog called Alfie and a tortoise called Tilly. When I am not working I enjoy growing vegetables and flowers in my garden, doing lots of different crafts, paddling down the river in our canoe and going away in our campervan.
I look forward to getting to know all about you when you join us at Hartest pre-school.
Hi I’m Victoria and have joined Hartest preschool with a background and passion for supporting children with SEND. I believe that all children should have the best opportunities especially in their preschool years, and am passionate that each child has the ability to succeed in their own individual way given the right support.
I have neurodivergent twins myself so the parenting journey I’ve been on hasn’t always followed the typical path, but we’ve had many adventures and fun along the way! We love visiting zoos together or taking our two English bulldogs out for a walk in the woods.
I enjoy listening to podcasts, running and cake! I can’t ever say no to a slice of lemon drizzle or Black Forest gateau!
I look forward to getting to know you and your family.
