Hi. My name is Mrs Brookes and I have worked at Mill Hill for 8 years. My heart truly belongs to the Early Years and I am looking forward to my new adventure as the Nursery teacher this year. I really enjoy being a part of the beginning of children’s school journey and helping them to learn lots of new and exciting things. When I am not being a teacher, I am being a mum at home to my two beautiful girls! We enjoy being busy and going out on day trips to places like the farm, soft play, parks and Cbeebies land! I also enjoy relaxing at home, when my girls let me! I look forward to the year ahead and to see what the children in Nursery can achieve!

Hello! I’m Mrs. Moreton, I have been working at Mill Hill Primary Academy since 2020, I originally joined the school as a lunchtime supervisor, before joining the Early Years team in Nursery. Throughout my time at the school, I have dedicated myself to supporting our young children and providing them with the very best start to their education. I am passionate about helping children develop confidence, skills, and love of learning. I also deliver tailored intervention support whenever needed to ensure every child can reach their full potential. I have also worked in Year 2, further developing my experience across different age groups. I absolutely love working with children and find it incredibly rewarding. It brings me so much joy every day. As a mother of four children myself (two girls and two boys), all of which have attended Mill Hill Primary Academy, I have a strong connection to the school community and I am very proud to play a part in helping children grow and succeed.

Hi! I am Mrs Perry. I am a qualified Early Years Practitioner. I worked at Mill Hill many years ago within early years for approximately 9 years before I made a career change. As much as I loved my new career, working with children was at the core of my heart and so I returned to Mill Hill last year where I had the privilege of working within year 1. I am now thoroughly enjoying working in Nursery and enjoy being the Lively Ladybirds keyworker. I am a mum of two, who I adore. I like planting in my lovely garden and look forward to family holidays in Cornwall.

Hello! My name is Miss Frost and I have been a member of the Mill Hill team since 2022. I began my journey as a lunchtime supervisor and quickly found my way into the classroom, where I now enjoy supporting children with their learning and development. I am passionate about supporting the wellbeing, confidence and progress of every child. I believe it is so important that children feel happy, safe and valued in school, and I love encouraging them to do their very best. It is a privilege to be part of their learning journey and to celebrate their progress and successes along the way. I have three children of my own, who have also attended Mill Hill Primary Academy, so the school holds a very special place in my heart. In my spare time, I enjoy spending lots of quality time with my family and making special memories together.

Hello, I’m Mrs. Hussain. I have been working at Mill Hill Primary Academy since 2021, when I joined as an Early Years Practitioner in the Nursery. During my time at the school, I have gained valuable experience working across different year groups, including Year 2. Most recently, I had the privilege of being the key worker for the Rising 3s – our youngest children. In this role, I dedicate myself to supporting them and ensuring they receive the very best start to their educational journey. I am now delighted to continue supporting these children as they transition into Nursery and carry on their wonderful learning journey. Outside of school, I am a proud mum of two, both now married, and a very proud grandma to two little boys whom I absolutely love and adore. I also have a very loving cat called Pumpkin. Family is incredibly important to me, and I enjoy spending time with them and creating lots of special memories together. 

In addition to my classroom role, myself and Mrs Donnelly set up and run our fantastic Tea & Tots Playgroup every Tuesday afternoon. This is something I am very passionate about, as it helps build strong and meaningful connections between our school and the local community.

We are all committed to ensuring your child gets the best possible start to their school life. We ask that all parents encourage their child to become more independent. Children should be able to put on and off their coat and shoes. They must also be able to use the toilet independently.

We understand how important reading and sharing stories are with children’s speech and language development. To support with this we send reading books home with all children and these are changed every Thursday. We ask that all children read at least 4 times a week.

In order to promote reading for pleasure, we also take the children once a week to the school library to choose a picture book to take home. Library books are changed on a Friday.

We also send half termly challenges home, linked to the topics we are covering. We have lots of exciting topics to teach this year and are looking forward to sharing these with your child.
