Meet Our Team

Tracey - Manager

Tracey joined Stanwick Pre-School in January 2025 and brings with her over 25 years of experience as a nursery manager. She originally qualified in 1997 with an NNEB and completed her Level 4 in 2009. With a strong background in leadership and compliance, Tracey has successfully managed multiple early years settings — ensuring they meet high standards of care, safety, and education.

Since joining us, Tracey has already made a number of positive changes to enhance the learning environment and strengthen our team. She is passionate about continuous improvement and loves learning — always on the lookout for new courses and training opportunities for both herself and the team to develop skills and stay up to date with best practice.

Throughout her career, Tracey has been dedicated to encouraging children to try new things, build confidence, and never give up — helping them develop the skills they need for life.

Outside of pre-school, Tracey enjoys spending time with her family and friends. She’s a proud mum to two children, aged 12 and 16, and proudly embraces her role as the family “mum taxi”! As a family, they love being outdoors and exploring together, especially on paddle boards.

Sammy – Deputy Manager

Sammy has been a valued member of the Stanwick Pre-School team since January 2022. Starting as an Early Years Practitioner, she quickly demonstrated her dedication and passion for early childhood education.

Sammy loves getting creative in the classroom and takes great joy in watching the children grow and thrive. Her enthusiasm and nurturing approach make her a favourite among both children and parents.

Outside of pre-school, Sammy is a keen marathon runner and enjoys spending quality time with her family and friends.

Liz – Early Years Practitioner

Liz brings a wealth of experience and a nurturing touch to her role as an Early Years Practitioner at Stanwick Pre-School. She completed her N.N.E.B in Nursery Nursing in 1995, which marked the beginning of a successful career as a Nanny. After raising her own children and supporting her husband’s business, Liz began volunteering at her son’s pre-schools and schools — reigniting her passion for early years education.

In 2018, she returned to the sector professionally, and in 2023, she joined the Stanwick team. Liz loves getting creative with the children and takes great pride in helping them explore, imagine, and grow.

Outside of work, Liz enjoys spending time with her family and friends. Her favourite kind of day? One spent at the beach!
