Manager's Welcome

Sally Martiello

Hi I’m Sally, I have been at Oakley Pre-school since 2005. In 2010 I took on the position of Pre-school Manager and in 2022 we changed to Oakley Kindergarten. I love being part of the team at Oakley Kindergarten and I work tirelessly in the drive for ongoing development and improvement of the provision we offer.

I aim to be an inspirational manager who is committed to ensure that our children receive the very best of learning opportunities in a happy and enabling environment.

Our child-led approach supports the development of purposeful, calm, confident and independent children. Alongside planning in the moment, it improves children's outcomes and meets both the individual needs of the children and the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage.

We welcome you to Oakley Kindergarten and look forward to working in partnership with you.

Meet Our Team

Dianne Todd : Deputy

Hi I’m Dianne. I first joined Oakley Pre-school in 2000 and qualified as a pre-school practitioner in 2005. I left in 2008 to become an Early Years Coordinator in a day care setting before moving on to manage a busy day nursery for 9 years.

I returned to Oakley Pre-school in 2017 and am delighted to be back and working as part of a dedicated team, to ensure your child has the best start and the happiest of times as we prepare them for school.”

Alison Molyneux : Level 6 Practitioner

Hi I’m Alison. I started working at the Pre-school in February 2016. I am a qualified teacher and spent my early career working in Reception/Infant classes. I became interested in the early years of education, realising how crucial these are to a child’s development and learning. I have had the pleasure of quickly getting to know both the school and the children.

Julie Grimshaw : Administrator/Cover

Hi, I'm Julie. We moved from Derbyshire to Oakley in the summer 2010 in time for my eldest child to start primary school and my middle child started at Oakley Pre-school shortly followed by my youngest. The Pre-school was so welcoming and the staff so kind and dedicated that I wanted to give something back so wasn't long before I joined the Pre-school Committee and in 2012 accepted to take over as the Chairperson. I continued this role until becoming the Pre-school Administrator in 2019.
