I have a Btec Nursery nursing qualification and a PGCE teaching qualification with a specialism in Early Years. Prior to teaching I worked in a variety of childcare and education roles. I now am an OFSTED registered Childminder.

An emphasis on nature-based learning and tailored educational activities characterizes this childcare provision. Children engage in outdoor exploration, using tools like magnifying glasses to discover local wildlife. The curriculum is rich and varied, with focused activities planned to meet individual learning needs. Community engagement is prioritized through visits to local attractions. While safeguarding arrangements are effective and communication support is strong, there is room to improve partnerships with other childcare settings and further develop children's independence skills.
