Does anyone remember this private kindergarten owned by Brenda and Olive Tompkins? More info will be greatly appreciated as I attended the school in the early 1970's.

I went to Amberley around 1968-1970 and remember Brenda Tompkins. Still have most of my numeracy & literacy exercise books somewhere. Remember doing lots of simple arithmetic and repetitive writing exercises in the big room (it seemed big at the time) at the front on the first floor. There was a garden at the back where we would play. Don't remember too much else. Used to live at the far end of De La Warr Road and catch the bus ("Ha'penny to the station") with my mum.
