Nickie Dellow – Manager
Hello my name is Nickie Dellow, I have worked in both primary and early years education for over 25 years, I am a qualified level 3 teaching assistant and early years educator.
I love working with children and feel passionate that all children should have a positive early experience in education to enable them to develop the foundation skills needed to support their educational journey.
I have been married for 32 years and have 2 children that I couldn’t be more proud of. My hobbies are my horses and going on holidays to Scotland on the back of my husbands motorbike.

Sandra Budd – Pre-School Practitioner, Health and Safety Officer and SENCo.
In 2001, when her son started Junior School, Sandra returned to working in education as a teaching assistant for a local primary school. Since then she has gained invaluable experience in a nursery setting and across all the key stages, working with children on a one-to-one basis, with small groups and at times the whole class. In 2014 Sandra decided to take a short ‘gap year’ before returning to work as supply staff for several local preschools (including Wendens Ambo Pre-School) as well as working at a breakfast club. Sandra was offered a permanent position with the Pre-School in September 2017.
