My Experience

I have over 24 years of experience caring for children of all ages and have dedicated my career to providing a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment where children can thrive.

As both a mother of three and a grandmother, I understand the importance of creating a home-from-home setting where children feel secure, valued and happy. I work closely with families to support each child’s individual needs, interests and development.

I have extensive training in safeguarding, SEND, child development, health and safety, food hygiene, allergy awareness and the latest EYFS requirements. I also have experience supporting children with additional needs and severe allergies, including anaphylaxis.

I believe children learn best through play, exploration and positive relationships. My aim is to help every child develop confidence, independence and a love of learning while having fun in a caring and supportive environment.
