Hi I’m Mrs Anne Evison. I’m the Pre-School Leader and SENCO and I love working with the staff, children and their families here at Earlybirds.

I have over 14 years of experience working with children across full day care nurseries, schools and party centres and am very passionate about what I do.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with friends and family going on days and evenings out. If I find myself with pockets of time I enjoy puzzles and crafting.

Deputy Leader, Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead (DDSL) and SENDCO

My name is Sharon Richards (Mrs Richards) I work part time and you will find me at pre-school on a Monday and Tuesday 8.45am-3.15pm and a Thursday and Friday 8.45am-3.15pm.

I am delighted to be a member of the team at Earlybirds.

I recently relocated with my family to Portchester, where I live with my husband and two sons. We have a dog Trixie and two gerbils called Wippy and Coco.

I discovered my love of working with children 20 years ago when I volunteered at a local Toddler Group. After volunteering at both of my son's pre-schools, I became a staff member and achieved my level 3 qualification.

I am happiest when engaged with the children and watching their imaginations spark. I also love story telling in different ways.

I am very lucky to be working at something I love so much.

I look forward to all the new adventures that being at Earlybirds will bring.
