Meet The Team

All Browns Lane staff are experienced, dedicated and bring a wealth of knowledge and hands on wisdom to the job. They also hold Early Years qualifications.

​

All staff continue to enhance their skills by attending training sessions throughout each year in a range of areas including the most up to date thinking and research on Child Development, First Aid, Child Protection, Health and Safety and Special Education needs.

​

Danielle Wheatley (an early years teacher), is the owner and manager and joined our pre-school in September 2011 after spending many years teaching in Key stage one and Reception classes

​

We have a keyworker system in place, whereby each member of staff has a focus on a small number of specific children to ensure they are being fully nurtured and effectively supported and that parents are being kept fully involved but the staff work closely as a team and regularly discuss and monitor all the children’s interests and progress
