My Summary
About Me
I'm a wife and proud mum of three wonderful children. Being a mum has been the most rewarding part of my life and has given me over 20 years of hands-on experience supporting children as they grow, learn and develop.
The Woodland Club at Silverley has been created from a dream of providing something truly special – a calm, nurturing, home-from-home environment where children can learn through play, explore nature every day and build confidence at their own pace.
Our small-group setting offers children aged 0–5 years the opportunity to spend time outdoors in all seasons, caring for animals, exploring the natural world, getting creative, baking, gardening and enjoying meaningful play experiences. Our purpose-built covered outdoor area means children can enjoy fresh air whatever the weather.
I believe every child learns differently, and I take time to get to know each child's interests, personality and stage of development, planning experiences that follow their curiosity while supporting the Early Years Foundation Stage.
I hold:
• Level 3 Early Years Paediatric First Aid
• Safeguarding Training
• Level 2 Food Hygiene & Safety
My aim is simple: to create a place where children feel safe, valued, confident and excited to learn each day, while giving parents complete confidence that their little ones are happy, loved and thriving.
