My Summary
About Me
With over 20 years of teaching experience and a strong background in the EYFS, I provide a warm, nurturing, and stimulating environment where every child can thrive. I’m first aid trained and experienced in supporting children with SEND, ensuring that every little one feels safe, valued, and included. My dedicated home playroom is thoughtfully designed to spark curiosity and inspire active, hands-on learning through fun, play-based experiences. I believe in preparing children not only for school, but for life—encouraging independence, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning. Based in Leigh near Progress Road, I’m passionate about making a genuine difference in every child’s early years journey.
My Experience
I have over 20 years of teaching experience in a primary school setting, where I’ve had the privilege of supporting children across a range of ages and abilities. Throughout my career, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how children learn and grow, nurturing their curiosity, confidence, and love of learning through engaging, child-centred approaches. Alongside my professional experience, I’ve also raised three children of my own, giving me valuable insight into the joys and challenges of early childhood from both a parent’s and educator’s perspective. This combination of professional expertise and personal experience allows me to provide a caring, consistent, and well-rounded environment for every child in my care.
My Qualifications
I hold a Level 3 CACHE qualification in Childcare, reflecting my strong foundation in early years education and child development. I am fully trained in paediatric first aid, ensuring the highest standards of safety and care for all children. My experience includes extensive 1:1 SEND teaching, supporting children with a wide range of additional needs through tailored, inclusive approaches. I have also completed training in early years brain development, deepening my understanding of how young children learn and thrive during these crucial early stages. In addition, I am trained in safeguarding at DSL (Designated Safeguarding Lead) level, giving me the knowledge and confidence to maintain a safe and protective environment for every child in my setting.
My Availability
Open from 7:30 til 5pm, Tuesday to Friday. I am open to discussing a more flexible time for all new parents/carers.
