Leadership

We have a strong leadership team who are responsible for the overall running and governance of Little Crickets Nursery.

Leadership of the nursery

Headteacher: Mr J Sample, BSc (Hons) PGCE  

EYFS Lead/Nursery Teacher: Mrs L McIntosh, BA (Hons) QTS

"I have worked for Little Crickets Sunderland and Argyle House for over 17 years. Having spent 10 years teaching in Reception and the subsequent 7 in our Nursery, I have a wealth of experience with this age range and enjoy supporting our dedicated team in delivering the highest standard of care.
Within our Argyle House family, we nurture and support every child. I am passionate about teaching, supporting and guiding children to reach their full potential in their academic, personal, physical, moral and spiritual development.

We believe in parents as partners and work closely alongside our parents to share, delight and extend their child’s experience and skills. I believe a happy content child is a child ready to learn, play and grow."

Nursery Teacher: Mrs K Boustead, BSc (Hons) PGCE

"My name is Mrs Boustead or, the children know me as ‘Mrs B’. I am the Kindergarten teacher at Argyle House School.
I have a degree in Educational Studies and a PGCE certificate with QTS. I have been a qualified teacher for 17 years and have been teaching at AHS for over 16 years.
I have a keen interest in the mental wellbeing of the children and I aim to ensure I develop strong relationships with all children in order to develop a strong platform for their learning."
