Anne Stanton
Deputy Manager, Designated Safeguarding Lead, Sustainability Officer
I grew up on the South Coast and after gaining the NNEB (National Nursery Examination Board Certificate) I took my first position at the University of Sussex Crèche and Nursery. I went on after that to work in a variety of different Early Years settings with babies and children aged 0-5 years ranging from workplace and private nurseries to an LEA funded nursery school with 40 children attending each session! After taking a break to have my own two daughters, I returned to work. When my youngest daughter who attended the Pre-School moved on to school, I did some agency work in local children’s centres before joining the Harbury Pre-School staff team in 2010. All of this has given me over 30 years of experience since first gaining my qualification.
I feel privileged to share in the awe and wonder that fascinates and inspires young children to learn and I love to support them through their play as they develop friendships, communication skills, personal interests and independence.
In my own time I enjoy spending time with my family including our dog that I train and compete with as a member of a Warwickshire based Flyball team. I also enjoy cooking, gardening and generally being outside, especially beside the sea when I rekindle my own childhood experiences.
