Suzie Thomas, Early Years Professional Status, BA (Hons) Early Childhood Studies

I have three daughters of my own and live in the local area. I love working in education and have over twenty years experience. I studied at Roehampton University where I gained a BA Hons degree. I then went onto complete my Early Years Professional Status qualifications.

In my spare time I love interior design and being creative!

I am a mum of three children, and my youngest attended St. Martin's preschool, where i decided to work with children. I have a MA degree in Statistics from overseas. I am a qualified Early Years Educator and Teaching Assistant with a passion for working with early years children. I have recently completed my ELSA (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant) training which gave me a wider picture to support children's emotional well-being.

My two girls, one of whom is in her 30's, attended St Martin's Pre-School many years ago and I have never left since! It is obvious that I thoroughly enjoy working at the Pre-School and my role helping the children to grow and develop to their best potential! I am the Health and Safety Officer and enjoy this additional part of my role.

I live in Epsom, close to the pre-school, so love my short walk to work and time spent with the children. I have always worked within education and enjoy the variety of activities within sessions at pre-school. I love Makaton signing and sing in an inclusive choir.

Angela Hu

I have been teaching for over 15 years. I hold an overseas QTS and a MA degree in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language. I love teaching, especially working with children. Their energy and creativity inspire me, and I incorporate these qualities into my teaching strategies, both in group settings and one-on-one interventions.

I have worked in education and childcare for over 30 years! Throughout that time I have worked in a variety of settings. I joined St Martin's Pre-School in 2020.

As a member of bank staff I very much enjoy working both one to one, and with small groups of children, to support their learning, through play-based activities.

Before becoming a mum I was a primary school teacher, working mostly in EY and KS1. My child came to this pre-school and we both loved it. I’m delighted to be working here now.
