My Summary
A Tiney Registered Childminder
About Me
I'm a warm, caring, and creative childminder registered with Tiney, offering a safe, nurturing, and stimulating Montessori-inspired environment where children can grow, explore, and thrive. With over 2 years of experience as a Primary Teacher, I have a strong understanding of early childhood development and a passion for supporting children’s individual learning journeys.
My approach is rooted in Montessori principles, encouraging independence, curiosity, and hands-on learning through play and real-life experiences. I create engaging activities that promote literacy, numeracy, creativity, and social skills, while also ensuring children feel valued, confident, and cared for.
I work closely with parents to build strong partnerships, ensuring each child’s unique needs and interests are supported. My goal is to provide a homely yet educational setting where children can develop holistically—emotionally, socially, and academically—while having fun every day
My Experience
I have over two years of experience as a Primary Teacher, supporting young children in early learning, classroom development, and foundational skills. Alongside my professional background, I have raised two daughters who have thrived academically, giving me real-life insight into child development, emotional nurturing, and learning through routine, structure, and encouragement. My combined teaching experience and hands-on parenting have equipped me with a strong understanding of children’s needs, learning styles, and the importance of a supportive, stimulating environment.
