After attaining my Level 3 Diploma, I started working for St Giles Day Nursery as a morning practitioner and have since made my way up to Room Lead and Manager of Chestnut Boutique Nursery at St Giles. I have also gone on to become one of our sites Safeguarding Lead Practitioners. I have had experience working with babies, toddlers and preschool, all of which I find thoroughly enjoyable. I have a passion for helping children to learn and develop and watching them grow. It is amazing to see how far they come when they start as small babies and progress into strong, intelligent people. There is nothing more amazing than making a bond with children, being able to comfort them when they are sad and encourage them when they are achieving. Having good relationships with parents is also very important to me, being able to reassure them and celebrate with them when their child has made an achievement is brilliant.
