Clare is a mum of two delightful children aged 11 and 13 who keep her very busy! However, as they don’t keep her fit enough, she can often be found in the gym in Malmesbury ‘enjoying’ a PT session.

Clare has been a full-time nanny and mum prior to joining us in September 2011 and trained as a Nursery Nurse (N.N.E.B.) she is also fluent in Spanish and shares her love of the language with our children at nursery.

Catherine is a mum of two gorgeous girls and is married to 'Farmer Robin' who is the Farm Manager at Charlton Park and is a very useful person to know, especially if we want to organise a visit to the tractors!

Catherine can usually be found in a field somewhere in Brokenborough with her horses, taking her girls riding, walking her dogs and is always out in the fresh air with Farmer Robin. Catherine has been a full-time nanny and mum prior to joining us at the Malthouse in September 2012.

Penny is mum to one beautiful grown up daughter, an extremely naughty Labrador and a horse. In fact, the dog and horse belong to her daughter, so best you don’t ask about them unless you are feeling brave!

Penny trained as a Nursery Nurse (N.N.E.B.) …a very long time ago (she says!) and has worked in a variety of settings including a children’s home and a nursery in Leicester. She also enjoyed some time childminding when her daughter was small.

Penny joined the Malthouse in 1997 and gained her BA (hons) in Early Childhood Education in 2015.

Marteen is a mum to a beautiful daughter aged 6.

Marteen joined the Malthouse in September 2015 and has a degree in Modern Languages, being fluent in Italian, German and French and shares her love of language with our children on a regular basis.

Emma joined the Malthouse on her college placement whilst completing her CACHE Level 3 Diploma in Childcare during 2015. We were so impressed with her that we wouldn’t let her go! Emma officially joined us in June 2016 and is a huge asset to the nursery. As Emma is the newest member of our team, we relish her fresh ideas (whereas we teacher her vital life skills!)

Emma spends her spare time attending festivals organised by her sister – Emma has not had the courage yet to tell her sister that she hates camping!

Allie is a mum to a beautiful daughter who is now at University, is married to Damon and has 3 step children.

Allie took over the full responsibility of the Malthouse Nursery School in 2001, managing the nursery for a few years previous to this.

Prior to running the Malthouse , Allie worked in a day nursery and a Primary School as a Nursery Nurse. Allie is N.N.E.B. qualified with a BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Studies and is now a Qualified Early Years Teacher.

Whilst running the Malthouse is Allie’s vocation, she is a regular cinema goer (she is good at recommending movies), is learning to play the piano and loves flying…unfortunately she is unable to fly planes but spends a lot of her time at airports wishing she could!
