Quinton House Nursery & Preschool

Having completed a degree in Early Childhood Studies and a PGCE in Primary Education, I joined Quinton House School as Head of Early Years in 2013. I work closely with the Nursery team to ensure the children in our setting have the best start to their education journey. As an Early Years teacher I enjoy planning activities which enable me to bring the children’s learning to life. I am particularly interested in developing early reading and writing opportunities through play and supporting children to recreate their experiences through small world and role play activities.

Each week I work with the Nursery children to develop their fine motor skills. During our Happy Hands lessons children complete a range of activities to strengthen the muscles in their fingers and hands to develop their dexterity including an effective pencil grip.

In 2017 I took on the additional role of Head of Key Stage 1. This allows me to oversea the education of the children aged 3-7years and ensure a smooth transition through these important years of early education.

I am Mrs Kinross I am the Manager of Quinton House Nursery. I first started working within the Nursery team at QHS in 2013 and I now wave to many of my first group of children who are in our Senior School. I took the role of Deputy Manager 6 years ago after completing my level three Children and Young Peoples workforce. I am proud to say that I am now the Manager of Quinton House Nursery and enjoy working alongside my team as we are working to continuously develop our Nursery.

Over the years I have followed my passion for Speech and Language and have attained many courses relating to this area of development in young children.

I have a keen interest in creating new activities that will inspire and capture children’s intrigue and imagination. I am passionate about Early Literacy and actively encourage reading and story activities.

During my week, I love taking the children outside in our nature garden and allotment plot to explore the world around them.

My name is Mrs Peach. I joined the QH Nursery team in October 2021 and have predominantly been working with the Preschool children. I am level 3 qualified within the Early Years.

My favourite things at Nursery are reading stories and singing although I also lead our P.E. sessions each week as well as our topic group times where we talk and explore our current learning focus.
