My Summary

Little Giggles Childcare

My Experience

I have worked in childcare for over two decades, gaining experience as a nanny, nursery assistant, childminder, and primary school teaching assistant. Following the birth of my first child in 2010, I spent six years working as a full-time childminder from my home, providing wrap-around care for families. More recently, I have worked in a primary school setting as a TA and MFL teacher, as well as delivering ELSA (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant) sessions to support children’s emotional wellbeing.

I am passionate about working with children and find it incredibly rewarding to contribute to their development and early experiences. I value strong partnerships with parents and carers and take great pride in providing consistent, high-quality care.

As a childcare professional, I am committed to creating a safe, nurturing and engaging environment where children can learn and grow through play, positive relationships and a supportive approach. My aim is also to make childcare as smooth and reassuring as possible for families, either in my home setting or the child's home.
