Meet the staff

The staff team in our Nursery unit cannot wait to welcome you to Etching Hill.

Mrs Hill has been part of Etching Hill for so long, she is part of the furniture! A Nursery Nurse at the start of her career, she has completed her degree in Early Childhood studies which has brought her wealth of experience into the more formal early years teaching role. Mrs Hill has a huge passion for early years, and for ensuring that all children receive the best possible start to their education journey.

Mrs Wilshaw has been at Etching Hill for over 20 years, and she is dedicated to supporting children in their learning, always with a huge smile on her face! Miss Bridges joined us as an apprentice initially working in Key Stage 2, but she decided to move into Early Years two years ago, a decision that she has not looked back on. Mrs Swann is a firm fixture in the early years; her skilled outdoor learning practice ensures our children enjoy every aspect of their learning environment. Mrs Fletcher too has lots of experience within the Early Years setting, this helps her to bring out the best in children and their learning. Mrs Smyth is a very nurturing member of the team; her love of crafts really shines in the classroom.
