Meet the team!

Here at Impstones & Cherry Trees we have a dedicated and caring team to guide your child(ren) through the first part of their learning journey.

All the team members are Paediatric First Aid qualified (which includes Epilepsy and Epipen Training) and have Safeguarding Level 3.

We are also working towards being a Communication Friendly setting, having undertaken training in Makaton and use of Visual Aids.

AMANDA DAVIES

MANAGER

Lead Safeguarding Officer (LV 4)

Lead SENCO

Family Liaison

Hi, I'm Amanda and I've been working at Impstones since February 2008 and have been the Manager since December 2012.

I have lived in Tadley for most of my life and am married with 2 children, who are now both at college!! They both attended Impstones, which is how I began working here:)

I have a great passion for educating children and feel this early stage of their development plays a vital role in how they will grow throughout their school life and then on in to adulthood.

I look forward to working with your child(ren) and your family to help you with the transition of separation and then on to 'big school' life!!

VICKIE JONES

DEPUTY MANAGER

Speech & Language Lead

Hi, my name is Vickie. I live in Baughurst with my husband and four boys!

I started working at Impstone in October 2014 and I am thoroughly enjoying my days at the preschool. Previously I was a paediatric nurse on the Special Care Baby Unit at the Royal Berkshire Hospital which I thoroughly enjoyed, however, I left to focus on my family.

I take great pride in working as part of a team and helping, along with the other team members, to give your child(ren) a positive, secure, fun and safe environment to help their future learning.

I am excited to be working with your family and I am always available if you need to discuss anything.

KATIE REID

DEPUTY MANAGER

EYFS CO-ORDINATOR

Hi, my name is Katie, I started working for Impstone at the beginning of January 2016, taking on the role of Deputy at Cherry Trees for September 2019.

I live locally with my 2 Children, both who attend Burnham Copse Primary School.

I am a qualified childcare practitioner and have worked in nurseries with 0-5yr olds since leaving college in 2005. I also spent a short time working at a special needs school at the beginning of my career.

I enjoy socialising with my friends and spending time with my family, having fun days out and going on bike rides.

I am enthusiastic and excited to get to know your children and help them to learn and grow :)

ON MATERNITY LEAVE

Hey! My name is Jennifer and I live in Tadley with my partner and two children.

I've been part of this team for a long while now! I started here on a college placement in Dec 2012 then came back again in Dec 2013. I then got employed at the beginning of 2014 and have basically been here ever since (with some time off to have my babies!) I am planning to get my Level 3 in childcare in the near future!!

I have another job at Tadley swimming pool as a swim teacher. I've worked there since 2012, so you may see me there sometimes too!

I take great pride and happiness in the work I do to make sure you and your children are happy and settled in our setting.

Love to get to know you and your family and look forward the adventure ahead of us! X

INFO TO FOLLOW

We work closely with local schools and colleges, which means at times we will have Student Practitioners within the setting. All of whom will be assessed for suitability and a dedicated mentor will be with them at all times during their assignment to our setting.

Our belief in learning doesn't stop as soon as a child moves on to 'big school'!

We truly believe learning is for life and we actively encourage all those that would like to learn in whatever way we can, no matter what their age!
