My Experience
? My Experience ?
I have over 26 years of experience working in childcare, having started my career in 2000. I hold Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications in Childcare and Early Years. ?
Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work in a variety of childcare settings, including children’s centres, private day nurseries, nursery schools, community centres and after-school clubs, where I also worked as a manager.
I also had the amazing opportunity to work abroad as a Children’s Representative in Turkey for First Choice Holidays, organising activities and helping children and families have a fun, safe and enjoyable holiday. ???
All of these experiences have given me a wealth of knowledge and experience working with children of different ages, backgrounds and individual needs.
I’m now a registered and qualified childminder, providing a safe, caring and nurturing home-from-home environment where children can learn, play, explore and develop in their own way. ??
After 26+ years, I still absolutely love what I do and feel very lucky to be part of so many children’s early years journeys. ??
