Lolene Poxon - Pre-School Manager
Safeguarding Children Co-Ordinator & ENCO NVQ 6 & Early Years Professional Status I have worked in childcare for over 14 years and this has taken me all over the world. I have been so fortunate to work and learn from some of the best. I joined Rolleston Pre-School in January 2007 as an assistant while I completed my NVQ3; in the September of that year I became the manager. I had previously worked as an illustrator for several years and still love to paint in my spare time. I am an officer in the Girls' Brigade and work with the children from 11-16 years on a voluntary basis. In 2010 I completed my Early Years Professional Status at Derby University, so you have a graduate leader managing your setting. The last six years have been such a joy being part of this community and getting to know so many children and their families in the preparation for school. |

Julia Croxall - Pre-School Assistant
NVQ 3 in Child Care, Education and Development I'm married with 2 daughters. I've lived and worked locally all of my life. On leaving school I worked for LLoyds Bank PLC in Tutbury for 15 years. When I had my family I decided to work part-time at the bank and obtain my childcare qualifications alongside this. I did so as a volunteer and later an employee at both Tutbury Pre-School & Richard Wakefeild School Tutbury. I had realised banking was not for me! I joined Rolleston Pre-School in September 2008. I now have 12 years experience in Early Years & Key stage one. I love everyday that I share with the children. They never fail to inspire. |
Sue Melia - Administrator/Assistant
NVQ 2 Childcare, Learning & Development I have two boys aged 11 and 13 and live in Rolleston. When my eldest child attended Pre-School I decided to join the committee. I was subsequently a committee for just under three years and during this time I became secretary. I thoroughly enjoyed being part of the committee as I made lots of friends in the village and had an insight of how Pre-School is run. Before I had my children I worked at M W Cripwell for 10 years where I was Office Manager. My second child, who is autistic also attended Pre-School in September 2005. His time at Pre-School was invaluable towards his development and the support he received was fantastic. When my second child started school I decided to do a childcare course and volunteered at Pre-School to help with my studies. I now have my NVQ 2 in Childcare, Learning & Development. This led me into a part time job at Pre-School in 2006. From September 2009 I took over the administration job in Pre-School which is my present role. |
