Meet the team
We know that handing your child over to someone else is a huge decision for any parent and we take the responsibility you pass us, incredibly seriously. Our staff are experienced in Early Years and genuinely love being with children all day long!
At preschool, to help the children identify their names we give them a picture name. You might spot some below for the adults too!

About me...
Hi I’m Chiyo, the Deputy Manager and Health and Safety Officer at Tytherington Preschool.
I am in the process of completing Level 2 Early Years Practitioner. I have worked at the preschool for 3 years and feel lucky to be working with such a professional team and caring committee.
Before beginning my career at the preschool I worked within the NHS with families that had children whom suffered with complex needs.
I am married with 3 children and we all love pets, animal crazy! We have 3 ponies called Barney, Bandit and Henry, a horse called Woody and a loopy spaniel called Spud!
Myself and my youngest daughter are very keen equestrians, having always loved competing I am a member of a Riding Club and compete to represent the club.
We are an active family and enjoy long walks in the forest exploring the countryside. We also love travelling.
The children call me "Chiyo Chips"

About me...
I’m Emily Poole, and am a nursery assistant at Tytherington preschool.
I qualified with my level 3 in Childcare in 2010, and I am also a level 3 forest school leader. I loved learning about the great outdoors.
I have worked in childcare for 14 years working with babies through to 5 year olds.
I started at Tytherington in June 2022 and have loved every minute of it, my son started with me and he is so happy here.
I live in Cromhall with my husband and my gorgeous son. We also have a lovely cavapoo called Dougie.
My favourite things to do are to spend quality time with family, walking Dougie, doing activities such as horse riding and visiting parks like Olddown & Wild Place.

About me...
We are looking to compile a list of ‘go to’ people who may be able to help out at short notice to be on our Bank staff, so if you are willing and have the appropriate EYFS training, or know anyone who has/is, we would love to hear from you.
