About Me

I have a keen interest in helping children to learn through play and offer a home away from home setting, with a good sized space to play inside and outside.
I’m kind, caring and playful with children, and like to let them take the lead in their play and learning.
In my household there is me, my husband, my 1 year old son and our 10 year old Staffordshire bull terrier dog Milo. During the day Milo tends to be out of the way, in the kitchen and my husband tends to be at work. My son and I are here ready to play and learn with children!

My Experience

I have my own son. I also worked at a nursery whilst I was younger, and brought up my baby brother who is 14 years younger than me. I did psychology at university and had a keen interest in children’s development.

Good

1 July 2025

A warm and nurturing environment forms the foundation of this childcare setting, where children feel safe and eager to learn. The provider is highly responsive to children's interests, offering a wide range of motivating activities that support communication and language development effectively. Daily music sessions encourage engagement and physical activity. While safeguarding arrangements are effective and professional development is prioritised, there is room for improvement in extending children's thinking and providing more challenging activities.
