As a nursery manager, I just love what I get to do for a living. I’ve been working with children for most of my life. I’ve graduated with my BA Hons in Early Childhood Studies along with my Foundation Degree, NVQ 4 and Diploma in Child Development and Early Childhood Education. One thing I love most is children are naturally curious, they have a sense of wonder and enthusiasm for play and learning, which has a positive effect on all those who work with them. I love working with children because their playful energy is contagious! They are always exploring and learning new things, and I love being part of that process of learning. Knowing that my job is to help children achieve their full potential and to help them feel happier and better about themselves, brings a huge smile to my face.

As a special educational needs practitioner, I love what I do for a living - supporting children to develop and working closely with parents. I have been a working with children since 2009 and have completed many courses, including level 3 in childcare, level 2 in team leading and a diploma in SEND. Early years is an important time for children and I am honoured to be a part of so many young people’s lives to watch them develop, grow and succeed.
