Mrs B Larkin
Hello, my name is Beth Larkin and I have worked at Sandhill for 7 years. As I am Early Years trained, I have had the pleasure of teaching in nursery for the last 7 years and helping to settle our youngest children into school life at Sandhill! I am happily married and have a fur baby called Cheddar who runs the house! I am a massive foodie and have a huge sweet tooth! I drink way too much coffee and love pizza!
Mrs C Swift
Hello my name is Mrs Swift. I’ve worked at sandhill for the last 2 years. I absolutely love working in Early Years. In my spare time I enjoy doing arts and crafts, designing t shirts etc. I am married and have 3 children 2 boys aged 21 and 14 and a girl aged 19. I enjoy cooking but I most enjoy baking and eating cake. I enjoy walking my 2 dogs Willow and Kobi and snuggling on the sofa with my 4 cats.
