About Me
Hello and welcome to First path tiney Home Nursery.
In my home nursery,, children are cared for in a warm, safe, and homely environment where they can feel comfortable, valued, and happy. I believe play is the heart of learning, so I plan engaging activities that spark curiosity, build confidence, and support each child’s unique interests and development.
I work closely with families to create strong partnerships, ensuring every child’s journey is supported both at home and with me. Parents can feel reassured knowing their child is receiving high-quality care from someone passionate about giving children the best possible start in life.

A warm, safe, and homely environment where children feel secure, valued, and happy
Over 15 years’ hands-on experience caring for babies and young children from 3 months–5 years
Strong knowledge of the EYFS, with creative planning to make learning fun and engaging
A focus on children’s individual needs, supporting their confidence, curiosity, and independence
Excellent communication with parents, keeping you informed and involved in your child’s journey
Full training in safeguarding, child protection, and paediatric first aid for peace of mind
My Experience
I am a qualified Early Years Teacher (EYTS, QTS Level 6) with over 15 years of experience caring for and educating children aged 3 months to 5 years across nurseries, schools, and family settings in London and Essex. I also hold a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education and Leadership from the University of East London.
Throughout my career, I have worked in a wide range of roles — from Nursery Manager to Early Help Practitioner — which has given me a deep understanding of children’s development, family partnerships, and creating safe, nurturing, and inspiring environments. I am skilled in planning engaging activities, supporting children’s individual needs, and ensuring strong progress using the EYFS framework.
Parents describe me as approachable, professional, and caring. I believe every child deserves the very best start in life, and I am committed to providing high-quality childcare that combines play, learning, and genuine warmth.
