I have worked in the early years industry since January 2011, starting as an apprentice, where I obtained a Level 3 in Children's and Young People's Workforce, and working my way up the ladder to Deputy Manager for a large chain nursery. With each step, I could feel my passion and enthusiasm growing.
Throughout my time in early years, I have gained a substantial amount of experience; in nurseries, as a nanny, in primary school settings and working alongside families of children with SEND as a support worker.
I took the opportunity to gain further knowledge, completing a Foundation Degree in Early Years before finally completing a BA Hons Degree in Early Education and Leadership in Practice. I am a member of PACEY, childmindinguk.com and newly registered with OFSTED.
In my childminding setting, I live with my wonderfully supportive husband Ryan and our senior cat that we rescued from a cattery – Bumble. Bumble has a lovely nature, she can regularly be found sleeping under our bed, sunbathing in a sunny spot or eating dreamies! Although I believe it is important for children to be around pets, I do ensure the majority of their time is separate to allow the children in my care to make the most of their time here – and give Bumble a rest from all the strokes!
I can't wait to welcome you into my home.
