Hi, I'm Angela and I am delighted to be the Manager at playgroup. I also attend the Babies and Toddlers sessions in the Village Hall.
I have been involved with Sheriff Hutton Pre-school since 2004 when my eldest son attended Babies and Toddlers. This was to become the beginning of my journey into childcare! In 2008 I became a member of the playgroup committee while my younger son attended before assisting as a relief member of staff in 2010. During this time I achieved the Basic Awareness in Child Protection Level 1.
During my training in 2011 I became a Play Leader. Since achieving a Level 3 Diploma for the Children and Young People's Workforce (Early Learning and Childcare) (QCF) I have become the named person for Behaviour Management and carried out Person in Charge duties on a regular basis. In March 2014 I successfully trained as a SENDco (Special Educational Needs & Disabilities Co-ordinator). I currently hold an Advanced Paediatric First Aid certificate.
I am passionate about playgroup and enjoy so many aspects of working in the Early Years sector. There is a huge amount of satisfaction from seeing children in our care play, learn, develop and flourish and I believe supporting parents is the key to children's success. I have the pleasure of working with an amazing team of nurturing play leaders, relief staff, volunteers and committee members. Friendships are formed between children and staff which may well last a life-time. I truly believe that playgroup provides a fantastic learning and social experience for your child which is at the heart of the community.
My long term goal is to study for the Early Years Foundation Degree and pursue a qualification in management.
I live on a farm with my husband Martin and two children Michael and Adam. My hobbies include card-making , mindful colouring and gardening. My favourite colour is pink. We have a working sheep-dog on the farm called Ellie and guinea pigs Benny and Theo.
I look forward to meeting you and welcoming your child into playgroup.

Hello, my name is Donna my position is Deputy Manager. Day to day I lead play but in the absence of the Manager I'm in charge! You will usually find me outside organising races or covered in mud. Inside my favorite area is the role play I love nothing more than having my hair done in the hairdressers or taking a nap – I mean being a patient in the hospital!
I started working in childcare in 2001; I originally worked in day nurseries gaining my Btec diploma in 2004. I came to Sheriff Hutton Pre-school Playgroup in September 2013. I started my foundation degree in young children’s learning the same month. I hold pediatric first aid, food hygiene and child protection level 2 certificates.
When I am not learning or discovering at pre-school my two children, husband and dog Cody keep me pretty busy. We enjoy family walks especially to the coast. My favorite color is yellow I love elephants and reading.

Hi, my name is Dawn. I am so excited to be a Play Leader and to be part of the lovely team at Sheriff Hutton.
I graduated from York St John University in 2011 with a BA (hons) in Education Studies. I intended to change my career path from Customer Services to working with children and making a difference in the lives of young people. I did my final year special study on 'how children learn through play' and this helped to confirm to me that early years was where I wanted to work, within an educational setting.
I went on to get experience working with children through volunteering at New Earswick Children's Centre until I got a job at the out of school club at Companthorpe Primary.
I then moved to Haxby Road Primary Academy where I was very lucky to be part of a team who set up their own out of school club. I completed my Level 3 NVQ in Play-work. I also hold a Level 2 Food Hygiene certificate and a Paediactric First Aid certificate. I worked in Early Years and KS1 as a classroom assistant. I regularly volunteer at Danesgate Community and I believe in giving every child the chance to achieve. I have undertaken a two day course on inclusion and basic Makaton taster course run by York Councl. I aim to help remove any barriers to learning and help children thrive through play in a safe, stimulating environment.
I have four children of my own from age 8 to 27. I like to read in my spare time and visit family. I am interested in furthering my career in behaviour studies and additional needs if the chance arises.
I feel very lucky to have the chance to work in pre-school and look forward to meeting you all.

Hi I'm Margaret and I run toddlers on a Thursday morning.
I see toddlers as being a safe place for children to come and play, and a place of support for mums, dads and carers. Do come along on a Thursday morning, we'd love to meet you.
