Sarah Kirk – Deputy Manager

Hi, I’m Sarah. I am a qualified Primary school teacher and taught for over 10 years before having my 2 children. I volunteered for Playgroup whilst both my children attended, and now having gained my level 3 Early Years Educator Diploma I run our Baby Toddler group, work at playgroup and Dragonflies. I am passionate about children’s learning and love planning creative opportunities for them. I enjoy taking children outside to learn and my family and I spend lots of time outside walking our dog, camping in the summer and dinghy sailing.

Anna

Hi I’m Anna, I qualified in childcare at Stroud College,  and started working in a nursery before being a private nanny.
My husband and I have 3 beautiful children.
We live in the village, and two of my children came to the playgroup. They have all been to Kingswood Primary school and moved on to KLB.
I love working at playgroup; it’s lovely to be greeted by the children’s smiling faces in the morning. I enjoy being there with them.
