Kangaroo Room

Welcome to the Kangaroos

We are a preschool room for children aged 3-5. We believe that in order to learn children need time, quality resources and an environment that encourages them to ‘have a go’. The staff recognise that children learn in a variety of ways and so provide a range of activities that support individual children’s needs. Opportunities are given that allow children time to interact with others, provide time to explore and space to relax.
We work hard as a team to create a caring and friendly environment for all of the children.

Lucy Gale- Assistant Head teacher for Early Years and Kangaroo room teacher.

I enjoy working as a team to plan and develop exciting activities which meet the needs and stages of the development of each child. I love to involve the children in making our nursery environment a happy inviting place to be. I love to have fun.

Stella Milton – Qualified Teacher for Linaker Children’s Centre

I am fortunate enough to be able to play with all the toys in all the rooms! I work in each of the rooms supporting staff and helping to promote learning through play. Our aim is for the children to have fun while learning and enjoy their experience here at the nursery.

Carrie- Senior childcare practitioner.

The Kangaroo room has a fantastic mix of children and I love getting to know all their personalities. I enjoy providing imaginative and exciting activities for the children and love to see them enjoy their time in nursery. I am particularly responsible for the childcare provision in the room and making sure the children have a fantastic time!

Ruth Mathision- Teaching Assistant.

I enjoy music, outside play, craft and especially role play. I also really enjoy working with groups of children to develop their mathematical and communication skills. I support the children with settling in when they are new to the nursery and learn their needs and what they like to do. I have 18 years experience at Linaker Primary School and have worked with all ages.

Sarah- Childcare assistant.

I love to be creative and really enjoy painting, drawing, making models and playing in the garden. I work hard to create a caring and friendly environment for all the children.

Annette – Childcare Assistant

I spend a lot of time in the Kangaroo room supporting the staff and working with the children. I enjoy getting to know them all and following their interests in the activities we provide. I also enjoy spending time in all the rooms and getting to know the babies and toddlers.
