About Me

My Experience
As a mum to two wonderful boys, aged six and two, I understand just how important it is for families to feel confident that their children are safe, happy and genuinely cared for. Family life is at the heart of everything I do, and together with my husband, our boys and our much-loved animals, we enjoy life on our family farm. Joining us in our setting, is my mum Jayne, who is our assistant. She is a retired primary teacher and a fantastic Granny to my two boys.
Alongside raising my own family, I bring over 13 years of experience as a qualified primary teacher specialising in EYFS and KS1. I have previously worked as a Baby Room Leader in a Montessori Nursery and also as a Pre-School assistant, giving me extensive experience supporting children from birth through their early years.
