My Experience

As a team, we bring a wide range of experience working with children across early years, education, and family support.

Our experience includes working within nursery environments, supporting early development through play-based learning, daily routines, and creating safe, engaging spaces where children can grow, learn, and explore.

We also have extensive experience within specialist Special Educational Needs (SEN) education, supporting children with a variety of additional needs. Alongside this, our experience includes leading SEN provision, identifying individual needs, adapting learning approaches, and working closely with families and other professionals to ensure every child receives the support they need to thrive.

In addition to our professional roles, we also bring experience as parents, fostering experiences and within enhanced SEN provision. These experiences have given us invaluable insight into supporting children who may have experienced trauma, attachment difficulties, communication differences, or require additional emotional support. They have strengthened our ability to provide a nurturing, patient, and understanding environment for every child.

Between us, we also bring the perspective of parenthood, giving us a real-life understanding of children's routines, development, and the importance of building strong partnerships with families.

Together, our experience has shaped our passion for creating a safe, loving, and inclusive environment where every child feels valued, supported, and able to flourish.
