Our Team

Emma is the area Manager, managing the Stamford setting and overseeing the Easton on the Hill setting.  

Emma is a mum to Ava and Theodore and has over 10 years’ experience as a nursery nurse. She started her training with a local Stamford nursery school and once qualified, the nursery was keen to retain her valuable contribution to the nursery and so progressed her to Room Supervisor. In the 2 years before opening The Little Lane Nursery, Emma was fortunate enough to experience a very different side of nursery nursing by working in the neonatal intensive care unit at Peterborough City Hospital. Parents and guardians hold Emma in the highest regard and she plays a very hands-on role within the nursery; a much loved character in the Stamford area!

Victoria Banfield is the Proprietor and is responsible for the nursery administration and finance.

Victoria is mum to William and Phoebe and experienced within business administration and account management fields. She has worked in many industry sectors and has a focused business approach with a keen eye for detail.

"My name is Kelly Davis, I live at Raf wittering with my husband, 2 girls Imogen and Isabelle. I have lots of pets a bearded dragon, flossy the rabbit and two dogs Simba and Josie which we enjoy walking as a Family in the surrounding fields and woods.

I have a Level 3 BTEC National Diploma in Childcare and Education and thoroughly enjoy my job as Baby room Leader at The Little Lane Nursery Easton. I find working with babies so rewarding watching them develop and learn new things and I also love the cuddles. I enjoy singing nursery rhymes like tiny turtle as you can blow bubbles at the end which makes the babies smile. I also love being outside exploring the garden and going for walks around the village in the wagon.

In my spare time I enjoy reading, gardening with my girls and camping as a family in our tent."

"My name is Toni-Marie Cooper, I live in Tallington with my many animals including 2 hamsters, 2 tortoises and a dog. I enjoy being outdoors walking my dog and participating in water sports at the lakes. 

I hold a Foundation Degree in Early Childhood Studies. I’ve always had a keen interest in working with children especially since my early teens after spending lots of time with my younger sibling, I find it very rewarding watching the children I care for grow and develop. My favourite part about my job is getting messy with the children and exploring new activities with them."

"Hello, my name is Julie and I am a nursery nurse at The Little Lane Preschool. I have worked with children all of my adult life, spending many years working as a nanny which enabled me to work and live in Italy and Canada. After returning to the UK, and in particular Easton on the Hill (i'm a true Easton girl - born and raised in the village!), I worked in a nursery, studying hard and eventually gaining a BA in Early Childhood Education.

I am passionate about using imaginative play with the children as it is a great way to use real life experiences and also provides the opportunity to explore new and different aspects of the world around them.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, gardening and upcycling furniture!".
