I have worked in childcare for over 15 years in a range of settings and with ages 0-11yrs, and I am qualified with a Btec National Diploma in Level 3 Childcare. I left college and started working as a Nursery Practitioner and through the years have worked my way to Nursery Manager. I always knew childcare was my main passion and have enjoyed every aspect of my work since. I feel children require the best start in life and if I can help them achieve this even slightly then I feel proud and grateful for my chosen path in life. During my roles I have extended my knowledge by taking part in relevant training courses and use this knowledge to make sure children are kept safe, stimulated, grow developmentally, flourish in all areas of the Eyfs and show them that when they grow up anything is possible. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.

During my 5 years’ experience in childcare I have worked with children 0-11 years old. I have developed strong skills in supporting children and young people through their play and learning. I am also passionate about providing the best care and play experiences for children and dedicated to creating stimulating, encouraging, safe environments for all children’s individual needs. I hold a Level 2 diploma in children’s care, learning and development and a Level 3 NVQ diploma in Children and Young People’s Workforce. I began my childcare career as a Play Worker, and I have since developed my professional career journey taking Play Lead and Safeguarding Lead. I have also worked as an early year’s practitioner, gaining knowledge and early years’ experience creating fun, rich learning experiences following the EYFS framework.
