Before joining Heathlands Mrs Lloyd gained a BA (Ed) in Mathematics and Education with Qualified Teacher Status. Her degree placements focused on children aged three to eight years which initiated her love of teaching the Early Years children.

Mrs Lloyd lives in the village and is proud of Heathlands being such an important part of the community. She spends her spare time which her family and can often be found on the side-lines of a football pitch cheering on her daughter Daisy, or playing tennis in the Colchester and District League partnered by her son Thomas. To relax she enjoys long weekend walks at the beach, eating out, and going to comedy shows with her husband.
