Once upon a time...

KATE PEACH

My experience

I am passionate about childcare, wellbeing and education. I began my working life as a qualified child-carer however, my ambition, tenacity and drive, together with the knowledge, qualifications and the experience I gained, enabled me to rise through the ranks to nursery management, into a regional training manager role and ultimately on to the position of Managing Director within a highly-respected chain of nurseries.

My next exciting project was opening my own beautiful nursery in January 2013. Each Peach Childcare is a vibrant feast of colour & deliciousness, a stunning 78 place nursery with a fantastic team of 30 and the perfect place for curious little people.

Those who know me and have worked with me will tell you that part of my success can be attributed to my desire to do things differently, honestly and with integrity. I love the feeling of creating a vision which I can then share, motivating and leading those around me until we achieve our desired goal!

WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY

Time away from work is spent with my family, I love being a Mum and take my role very seriously ensuring that I have a work life balance that enables me to be the best I can be in both my working and my home life. I have worked tremendously hard to create the life I have and to make sure my two major passions have equal space and attention.

I LOVE

My gorgeous family, cities, sparkly things, the colour red, my beautiful nursery, and shoes. Shoes!

KATE TILSTON

My experience

I’m dynamic, creative, passionate and hideously organised, which makes for a great Life Coach & Mentor. I have a knack of looking through the clutter, whether it’s emotional or physical and helping my clients find a way through it, making space for them to move on. I enjoy helping people to find solutions and create action plans that are uniquely theirs but at the same time are actually achievable.

In my past working lives, I’ve worked in sales and advertising, run a vintage clothes shop, organised a major Blues Festival and then was a director of a Marketing Agency, so I have a variety of experience. I trained as a Life Coach in 2003 when I decided that my life skills could benefit others and I wanted a better work life balance for myself.

WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY

I now live in wonderful West Sussex with my gorgeous husband. We love living by the sea and it has provided me with a wonderful base from which to run the coaching practice. I’m very lucky as my husband’s job involves lots of travel so we also get to visit some amazing places around the world.

Much of our “spare” time is spent with my stepsons who although don’t live with us are actively involved in our lives or, spending time with family and good friends enjoying a Hygge lifestyle.

I LOVE

My family & friends, the sea, exploring the world and a good pint of Guinness & a portion of chips!
