I have been working with children since 2008 and for Chestnut Nursery Schools for over ten years. I am currently doing a PhD in law, and I have previously completed a Masters in Global and International Education, a Degree in Special Educational Needs and Inclusion studies and a level 3 in Child Care and Diploma. With my experience and knowledge, I continue to believe that if children are given the necessary tools to succeed, they will succeed beyond their wildest dreams. My aim is to therefore ensure that all children are given the same opportunities to thrive through their childhood, irrespective of who they are or where they come from. Furthermore, putting their emotional needs first is very important to me because without feeling safe and understood, no instructional strategy will be effective.
