My Summary

My Experience

As a mother to my 7-year-old son, I understand the importance of finding trustworthy, nurturing, and high-quality childcare. My passion for early years education has been shaped not only by my own parenting journey but also through my extensive professional experience.

I have previously worked as a co-childminder, caring for children from 6 weeks to 10 years old, providing before and after-school care as well as holiday club support. My background in health and social care has given me valuable insight into child development, well-being, and safeguarding.

I have extensive experience working with children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), including those with developmental delays and behavioural needs. I am also a qualified Elklan "Let’s Talk" Tutor for Under 5s, which has strengthened my ability to support children’s speech, language, and communication development.

With a strong foundation in behaviour management and child-centred learning, I strive to create an environment where every child feels safe, valued, and encouraged to thrive.

My Qualifications

For your peace of mind, I hold Paediatric First Aid training and have undergone a full enhanced DBS check. I am also Level 5 qualified in Early Years Leas Practitioner and hold Advanced Safeguarding and Designated Safeguarding Lead (Level 3) certification.
