St. Georges pre-school is privately owned by myself, Stephanie Sturdee. The pre-school, until recently was a charity and was committee run. After it ran into difficulties I decided to close the charity and make it private it so that it would not close. I have children (Timothy and Gabrielle) - Timothy attends St George's Pre-School and Gabrielle St George's Primary.

I have a Bachelor of Education and am part way through my M.A in early years. Although I am in as management, I enjoy interacting with the children and being part of the team. I have high standards and welcome any comments and suggestions. I am pleased with the high ratio of adults in this group. This ensures individual attention to the needs and development of each child. The regular staff are:

Kerry Ambler, Manager/Play Leader

Kerry is married and has two children. Kerry has an NVQ 3 and is going to undertake her SENCO qualification shortly. Kerry is the manager and is the responsible person when I am not in the setting.

Claire Small

Claire is married and has two boys. Claire is a parent volunteer at St. Georges, helping children in small groups and on outings. Claire enjoys working at the pre-school and all the children and their families. Claire holds a NVQ level II, and will soon be starting her level III.

Lucy Sturdee (pre-school dog)

Lucy lives with Steph but was specifically got as a pre-school pet. She loves coming in to the pre-school and really enjoys getting attention from children, parents and staff. Lucy has helped many children settle in. She has also really helped teach the children about animals needs, their vulnerability and the importance of treating dogs with respect. Lucy is a pedigree Yorkshire terrier.

Full lists of courses attended by the staff are available on request and on the notice board.
