Jennifer

Role – Deputy Manager
Qualifications - NVQ3 in Child Care and Development.

I have been working in the Pre-School since May 2014. I live in Grantham and have 4 children and 4 grandchildren. I have always been interested in working with children and started out by helping in the nursery my eldest child had attended before we moved to Grantham. I continued helping in the nursery's and school settings as my other children grew while attending Grantham College and qualifying as a Learning Support Assistant.

I then worked at Huntingtower Primary School as a midday supervisor for a number of years, as well as a Learning Support Assistant and caring 1-1 for a child with additional needs. I continued studying and gained my NVQ3 in Child Care and Development. I was then offered a position as Learning Support at Grantham Church High School which I accepted before becoming a Cover Supervisor. I am currently working towards my degree in Early Years and Education.

Sarah

Role - Keyperson

Both my children attended Barrowby Pre-School and I joined the management committee. I have had an interest in the pre-school for many years and have been working as a relief member of staff for the past few years. I recently started the Early Years Educator course and am enjoying being able to put theory into practice. I love arts and crafts and particularly glitter.

Role - Relief Staff

Both my children attended Barrowby Pre-School, during that time I was a committee member. In August 2017 I achieved my NCFE Cache Level 2 certificate Caring for Children and Young People. I came to volunteer at the Pre-School in 2022 and enjoyed every minute of it. I am also studying a DfE Child Development course. My passion is working with children to give them a happy and healthy start to their learning journey. I joined the staff team in January 2023 and look forward to be spending many more years with my Pre-School family.
