Hi. I'm Miss Laurie; I have been at Etchells since 2015 and absolutely love everything about the school.  I started my life at Etchells in year 1 and then moved to Nursery in 2017 and worked there till this year when we created our EYFS unit with Reception and Nursery together. I have worked alongside Miss Whalley and Mrs Deering for a long time now - Team work makes the dream work.

I lead a very active and busy life having 4 children (12 year old twins, a football mad 10 year old and a happy and a little spoilt 8 year old.) We love visiting theme parks both in England and around the world, which helps as im a huge Disney fan.  I absolutely love working within the Early Years, seeing the world through little eyes, having fun whilst learning (which we do all the time) and making the best memories. It really is the best job in the world. 

Hello! I am Mrs Heathcote and I have joined Etchells this term. I teach the class on Monday's and Tuesday's. I am excited to be part of such a wonderful school and to have the opportunity to work with the amazing children and staff here. I have been teaching over 20 years now (where did the time go!) and have worked in a variety of settings and different year groups. Early Years is my passion and I love the opportunities we have at this stage of a child's learning to explore through play-based activities and child-led interests. 

When I am not in school, I have two children who keep me busy. I also love exploring the countryside and visiting National Trust attractions. Being an animal lover, Chester Zoo is one of my favourite places.

I look forward to getting to know you all over the next few weeks.
