About Me

I am currently renovating my garden to create a safe, exciting, child-centred environment that supports physical and sensory development. I have experience and training in SEND/neuro-affirming practices. I follow a child-led curriculum incorporating a balance of child and adult led activities. I make weekly trips to local groups offered by the library and culture trust. I love utilising the local parks, playgrounds, woods, museums and libraries.

I have worked in Brighton, London, Luton and Bedfordshire. I have experience of working with a wide variety of families from different backgrounds, beliefs and needs. I believe in working with a neurodiverse affirming ethos and resources.
