With over 16 years of dedicated experience in childcare, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the care and development of children. I hold an NVQ Level 3, a Foundation Degree, a BA (Hons), and EYPS (Early Years Professional Status), all of which reflect my deep commitment to early years education. Additionally, I am fully trained in Forest School principles, promoting outdoor learning and exploration, and hold a First Aid certification to ensure the safety and well-being of every child in my care. As a proud mother of two daughters, I understand the importance of nurturing and fostering a loving, supportive environment. My professional and personal experiences have equipped me to provide exceptional childcare tailored to each child’s needs.
