Meet the Committee
Committee Chairperson
Emma Courtney
Hi there, I’m Emma and have lived in Hanslope since 2013. My daughter currently attends the Preschool which is how I first got involved. I run a consultancy that operates Nationally and Internationally and specializes in research, evaluation, marketing and strategy for the arts and heritage and voluntary sectors. A significant part of this work involves children and young people and it’s been a bit terrifying to see how creativity and the arts in education has been eroded from the curriculum over the last decade. I’m also the Vice Chair of the Arts & Heritage Alliance in Milton Keynes. AHA-MK leads and manages MAKE, the Milton Keynes Cultural Education Partnership so everyday I see firsthand how creative activities empower and enable our young people to develop and thrive.
With such significant changes in the village over recent years through large scale development, a community asset and charity like Hanslope Preschool has never been more important. The early years children of Hanslope deserve to have the best start in their learning journeys. They deserve a setting that inspires them and gives them the belief, curiosity and courage to realise their potential at every stage of their lives. I sit on the committee to help in any way I can towards that goal. If you’d like to help contribute to this goal in any way please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’re a friendly bunch and welcome everyone who wants Hanslope Preschool to be the best that it can be!

Hi, I'm Brittany and Mum to two children: a girl at Hanslope Primary School and a boy who began Pre-school last year. I have lived in Hanslope for 2 years and have loved getting to know the community.
I attended a Concurrent Education Programme at Bishop's University in Quebec, Canada. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Hons.
English Literature and a Bachelor of Education.
I am a former secondary school teacher with 9 years' of experience. I have also worked in the children's cancer charity sector, and I am now working for a local education technology business creating content.
I am hoping to bring my experience in the education sector to Hanslope Pre-school Committee. I am excited to be part of this team!

Claire Barnett
Hi, I'm Claire and I moved to the village just over three years ago along with my husband and two boys.
​
My youngest still goes to the preschool and my oldest used to attend but has just started at the primary school. My oldest loved going to preschool and my youngest is also really starting to develop within the setting and always tells me he had fun when I pick him up.
Before having my boys, I grew up in MK and studied for my degree in Criminology and Social Policy at the University of Sheffield. I then spent some time travelling around Australia and New Zealand doing some crazy things like sky diving, bungee jumping and night kayaking. I then returned to MK and started working in the public sector and am still working there today.
Having grown up with my mum working in a preschool I'm aware of the hard work involved as well as the love and passion in the profession and want to try and support the staff, children and parents for the preschool to continue to grow and develop.
