My husband and I have lived on Kings Hill for 7 years and still enjoy being part of such a vibrant and varied community. I have one daughter, Amelia, currently in her last year at the pre-school.

I have been in the Customer Service Arena all my working life including running a Service Centre of over 100 staff. I have also worked in the law and health care industries in various roles including Sales Management, Training, Customer Service, and QA. This year I am hoping to expand my horizons and move into Childcare.

On top of looking after a couple of my friends children I enjoy walking and cycling which is good as I LOVE cooking and eating out.

I love the variety the role of Chair brings me especially working with the Pre-school Manager and staff and being the link between them and the Committee. However one fault according to my fellow committee members is that I talk too much!

Mum to Dylan 4, currently in his last year at pre-school, and Kyle 1, who will be starting in September.

I also work part time in investment management for Bank of New York in London. Prior to Kyle being born I worked at Deutsche Bank for 9 years as an Investment Writer and Head of a Client Reporting team.

When I am not being a mum or working I like socialising with friends and love music and dancing.

As Vice-Chair I support Fiona in her numerous tasks but am specifically focussed on working with the council and Liberty to expand the pre-school and ensure we have the best facilities available.

My husband and I have lived on Kings Hill for 5 years and our son, Daniel, started at the pre-school in September 2009.

I am lucky enough to be a full-time Mum now, but prior to starting a family my career centred around Finance and Accounts. I started off as a Ledger Clerk and gradually worked my way up until, after several years of studying, I qualified as a Management Accountant in 2006. I have worked in manufacturing and service industries locally, and one day I would love to work for myself doing the books for small local businesses.

In my free time I enjoy swimming, reading and socialising with friends. I love cooking at home too and have a cookery book collection to rival any branch of Waterstones!

I am excited to be able to support the pre-school in the role of Treasurer, and look forward to assisting to maintain a stable financial position for the future.

I currently have one child at the pre-school and one who has just left for big school.

I work part time as a careers adviser/project manager for a charity who promote the vital role of engineers in society and specifically engineering and science careers to young people.

My key role for the pre-school is applying for grants to help towards funding for equipment and activities. I also support Debbie in her role as Treasurer.

My eldest son, Jake, recently left the pre-school for the dizzy heights of "big" school and my younger son, Scott, will start in September 2010.

Having gained a tennis scholarship to the University of Houston in America, I graduated with a BS in Sports Administration and Kinesiology. On returning to the UK, I began my working life organising exhibitions and went on to become a PA in a recruitment company and later an investment company before "retiring" to have children!

Mum to Sam who is at 'big school' having spent two happy years at the preschool, Harry who is currently at the pre-school and loves it and baby Sophie.

Having worked at Barclays for over 11 years in a number of roles including Strategy and Head of Internal Communications I now support my husband Steve in his business which provides strategic marketing consultancy and new media technology (including this website!)

Being secretary means I get an overall view of how the pre-school is running and the role is very varied from chairing meetings through to liaising with the Charities Commission. I love being able to support the pre-school in providing our children with a great start to their education.
