I’m Emma a mum of 3, two daughters and one son.
I have worked in various early years roles for 10 years, I am level 3 qualified and have lots of experience with under 3’s, I love the variety early years brings every day is different and every child with their individual personalities.
I love to be outside with the children, creating activities that they not only enjoy but that help to extend their learning.
Going forward I would like to strengthen my SEN knowledge.

Hi I’m Lynsey, I have 3 children, 2 of which are in secondary school and 1 in college. I have worked at Cambourne Pre-School for almost 6 years and love working with such an amazing team. I have previous experience in a crèche, looking after babies and pre-schoolers. My strengths are my caring and compassionate nature. I am looking forward to all the positive and exciting changes at the pre-school as well as studying for my level
2 diploma for the early years practitioner.

Lauren Shearwood

Pre-School Practitioner

Rainbow Room

I have worked at Cambourne Preschool since 2020, before that I was an Ofsted registered childminder with over 10 years of experience. I also gained a degree in Management from the University of Surrey. I would say my strengths would be my organisation and creativity.
To continue my professional development, I will be working towards my Level 2 Diploma for the Early Years from the Autumn term 2023.
Together we're proud to deliver a high standard of learning and care for all of our children here at Preschool.

Pre-School Practitioner

Hi I'm Natalie, wife and mum. I love being with my family & friends (there’s a lot of us) and being outdoors walking my dog. 
I’d have a zoo if I could - I love animals & have 5 pets (4 cats and a dog)
I am SEN qualified and I’m starting my level 2 childcare October 23. My key strength is my positive ‘can do’ attitude. 
I absolutely love working at the preschool & can’t wait to be a full time member.
