Meet the Team
Toni Stockwell
Hi, I am the owner of Twinkletoes and this is a dream come true for me. I have worked hard for the past 6 years as a childminder as well as studying at university to get my degree in Early Years (I graduated woo hoo). I am very excited to be going on this journey and am positive that Twinkletoes will grow and develop into an outstanding and dynamic preschool. I look forward to meeting all the many parents and children who will grace us through our doors.
Louise Cheshire
I have been teaching in primary education for ten years and I am a fully qualified teacher with QTS. I studied at Goldsmiths University in London where I obtained a BA in Education with Honours. Over the years I have been on numerous training courses to continue my professional development, over this time I have taken a keen interest in children with specific educational needs.
For the last three years I have been Foundation Stage Leader in a large, local school. This is where I have realised my passion for teaching younger children. I believe that children’s first experiences of education are so influential and have such a big impact on the rest of their school life. I am particularly passionate about the development of fine motor skills and the teaching of phonics. Play and exploring is vital to learning at this young age and I am looking forward to being able to provide and facilitate this in this amazing environment.

I was originally working as Toni's assistant in her childminding setting and had been since February 2018 I started my career in hairdressing but was approached by Toni and took up the chance to fulfill a life long ambition to work with children.
I am very excited about having the opportunity to work at Twinkletoes and to be apart of something fantastic.
Maria Day
I completed my Level 3 in Childcare qualification in 2009. Since then I have worked in several childcare settings and I am passionate about working with children in the early years, in particular children with special education needs. I have completed various training courses including SENCo, and I am currently studying towards a degree in Child and Youth Studies. I am glad to have joined the Twinkletoes family and be part of a great team. I look forward to working closely with my key children and their families.
Ashley Wood
I have previously worked in various roles within a primary school setting, mostly with year 1 children. I was also an after school supervisor for a local primary school, where I enjoyed encouraging the children to try different foods by baking and expressing themselves through art and design.
I also took a class in BEAM which helps children with co-ordination and balance difficulties by trying out different exercises.
I’m really looking forward to working with the Twinkletoes family and watching the children grow.
