Pre School Manager

My name is Wendy Walker and I'm the Pre-School Manager. I have been involved with Newburgh Pre School for over 12 years.  Initially as a parent then a  play leader before stepping up to the role of Pre School Manager in 2019.
I really enjoy the variety of my work and watching the children grow in confidence and ability.  Since joining the group I have completed my SVQ Level 2 and SVQ Level 3 in Children’s Care, Learning and Development and have up to date training in First aid, Food Hygiene and Child Protection.
I live in Newburgh and one of the most enjoyable parts of my job is ensuring the children have a sense of community and are aware of the beautiful part of the world we live in.
I have also participated in on going professional development, taking part in courses in Makaton, Speech Therapy and Outdoor Learning to name a few.
In my spare time I like to spend time with my family, reading and keeping fit.  I also play an active role in The Windsurf club where I act as the Welfare Officer.
