My Summary
About Me
I have spaces for Pickup and Drop-Off to Poplar Street
Hi, my name is Sandra, I am married to Dave and have 2 boys and a friendly, laid back cat called Luma. My eldest is 27 and now has his own house with his fiancee. My youngest is 13 years old. I provide a home from home experience in a fun and safe environment. My setting features an extensive range of books, toys and educational resources to suit all stages. I have a well equipped outdoor space as well as easy access to the nearby park and nature trails. I go to local playgroups so the children can socialise with other children outside of my setting, libraries and love going for walks to look at nature. I am patient, friendly and adore children of all ages and I strive to ensure that all children and parents/carers are made to feel welcome in my home. I offer drop-off and collection for Poplar Street Primary. I also offer school holiday care.
My Experience
I have over 17 years of educational experience ranging from Nursery through to year 4. I also have experience of working with children with additional needs and EAL. I have experience with lots of interventions such as; phonics, Numicon, reading and the Fischer Family Trust Programme, which is literacy based. Working in education has given me a vast amount of experience of how children learn, how to assess and how to move their learning forward. I understand the importance of learning and developing through play using both the inside and outside environment. Not only has my education background taught me all about children but it has given me a wealth of experience of working with their families as well.
