Georgia Townsend – Early Years Practitioner, Designated Safeguarding Lead and Senco

Hi, my name is Georgia and I’ve been working in early years for 3 years and at Stonesfield Pre School since April 2021. In my home life I have a daughter who is now at school and in my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and getting away for holidays and mini breaks when possible. I enjoy being outside and exploring new places. I love being a key worker in early years and creating bonds with both the children and their families and working with them to prepare the children for school. 

Hannah Willans – Early Years Practitioner

Hello! I previously worked in a playgroup and then a day nursery in Oxford, where I completed my Level 3 Early Years training. I have three girls, currently two at Stonesfield school and my youngest is here at Pre School. 

I have a degree in fashion & clothing and love being creative! I enjoy keeping active, crocheting and spending time outdoors with my children. 

Lizzie Wharton – Early Years Practitioner

I’ve worked with Early Years children for over 30 years, it’s my great passion!  I love to nurture a child’s individuality whilst working closely with their family.  I am a caring and sensitive person with a great sense of fun.    

 In my spare time I love to spend quality time with my family and keep fit.

Sandra Ward – Early Years Practitioner and Designated Safeguarding Lead

Hello I’m Sandra. I originally come from the Netherlands and moved it here when I was 16. I started out training and then working as a chef before I had my two sons, after which I was a stay-at-home mum for a few years. I have been at Pre School for the last 8 years. I like gardening and crafting and cooking and you probably have seen me about with my collie called Jess.

Zena Rozee – Early Years Administrator

I have been the administrator of the Pre School for over 15 years, I also have 25 years experience in banking, but now work part time for both the Pre School and the Primary School. In my spare time I enjoy cooking, walking and spending time with family and friends.

Sarah Stone – Early Years Practitioner Assistant

I love helping make Pre School a safe and secure environment for children to start to experience the world away from their families. Over the last 7 years I have learnt something new from each child that comes through our doors.  When I am not at pre-school you will usually find me outside with my horse and dogs.

Claire Johnson – Early Years Practitioner Assistant

I retired from nursing last year & am enjoying working at the Pre School now. It is a lovely way to feel connected to the community, meeting children & parents & staff.  I trained as an early year’s teacher many moons ago so delighted to be working with children now.
