Meet the staff

Our staff are a dedicated team of professionals with an abundance of experience, knowledge and passion for what they do. We pride ourselves on knowing our community of parents and children well and so we know that a home away from home environment is what most families are looking for. We achieve this by making sure we really know your child, what they like and don’t like and plan accordingly for this. We provide activities that are familiar to your child, such as cooking, dressing up and role play games. But we also present activities that are less familiar and so create excitement, awe and wonder.

Sara

I am level 3 qualified and the SENco for Pollyanna's. I started my educational career when I was 19 and worked at a local SEN school. In 2014 I joined the early years profession shortly after having my daughter. Working with children to help them develop and flourish is a privilege and I love the variety each day brings. My passions outside of Pollyanna's are music, dancing and family time.
