I’m Sophie and I am a qualified teacher working here at Smarden Preschool.  I have been teaching since 2008 and have worked with children of all ages, but I especially love providing engaging and inspiring opportunities for children in Early Years.  I have one daughter and a fur baby named Buddy.  I live by the seaside and absolutely love baking, running and Disney.

I’m Abi and I have two children, two dogs and a guinea pig. We all enjoy beach walks and spending time in Wales and Cornwall.

I’m Marie and I’ve worked here in Preschool for 19 years.  I have 5 children and 3 cats and I live in Smarden Village.  I love story time, singing, cuddles and rainbows, but most of all I love glitter and anything pink.

I’m Lorraine and I’ve been working with children since 2012.  It is my passion to watch and help them grow and develop into unique individuals.  I gained my Level 3 qualification in 2014 and have worked at Smarden Preschool since 2018 and absolutely love the fun and friendly environment I work in.  I have 2 children and I love going for lovely walks as well as going to the leisure centre.

I am Elke, I was born in Belgium and have lived in the UK for over 20 years. I now live in Smarden with my husband and 4 children, who range in age from late teens to primary school age, dog, cat and 4 chickens. I used to be a midwife, but left that job to work in preschool and be home for my children a little more. In my spare time I love walking my dog, reading, pottering around the garden and crocheting.
