My Summary

Where Little Hearts And Minds Blossom Naturally 💛🌱

My Experience

I have been qualified in childcare and education since 1999. I have extensive experience supporting children across a variety of settings, including private day nurseries, mainstream schools and specialist schools for children with additional educational needs. As a parent of three, I also bring the invaluable insight that comes from raising children firsthand.
I am passionate about creating a warm, nurturing environment, where every child feels safe, valued, and inspired to explore and learn. I believe that each child is unique and thrives when given patience, understanding, and encouragement to develop confidence, independence, and curiosity at their own pace.
I am often described as kind, thoughtful, patient, caring, and fun. Qualities I believe are essential in building strong, trusting relationships with both children and their families.
Alongside my Level 3 qualification, I hold a full Paediatric First Aid certificate and a Level 2 certificate in Understanding Specific Learning Difficulties. Equipping me to support children with a wide range of individual needs.
At Stretch and Grow, my aim is to provide a caring and supportive environment where little hearts and minds blossom naturally.
