Our Team
Mrs Walter
Owner / Manager
Safeguarding Lead/SENCO
I qualified as a teacher in 2011 and from there specialised in the EYFS. I wanted to create my own nursery setting where I could lead by example in getting children ‘school ready’. I believe that preparing children for school is something that needs to be embedded from a young age with emphasis placed on the 3 prime areas of learning. My passion is to ensure that when children leave The Little Bears they will be confident and prepared for their next chapter. I want children to have a love for learning and to be inspired to follow their dreams.
Mrs Hammond
Deputy Manager
Deputy Safeguarding Lead
I have worked with Children since 2001. In this time, I have worked in a range of settings including being a busy mum of two lively boys.
I’m very proud to be part of the Little Bears team looking after your amazing children.
The best thing I enjoy about my job is seeing all the children, play, achieve and grow into happy individuals.
Miss Church
Level 3 Qualified

I began working with children in 2016 where I completed work experience alongside children of different ages in a range of early years settings. From this, I then went onto achieve my level 3 qualification. I have always had a passion for working with children and helping to support them with their individual needs and watching them grow.

Mrs Taylor
Qualified Teacher
Mrs Rolfe
Nursery Practitioner
I have worked in the Early Years sector since 2004, starting in a nursery setting moving to an infant school then a primary school. I have been based in a Foundation Stage class, primarily working 1:1 supporting children with special needs. I have really enjoyed being part of each child’s individual learning journey and been proud of all their achievements. One of my strengths I am told is my creativity, give me some bits and bobs, glue and a large pot of glitter, add excited children and I am in my element.
My passion is to encourage and nurture your child’s imagination and creativity and make Little Bears a happy fun place for them to grow.
Mrs Lapwood

Whilst working at the school I qualified as a level 2& 3 teaching assistant and went on to achieve my higher level teaching assistant qualification. I am very proud to be part of The Little Bears Nursery team and enjoy watching children learn and become more independent. I have two grown up children and I love to watch live music and I’m a keen knitter.
