My journey in early years began in 2006 when I started working as an assistant practitioner in a pre-school. I gained my level 3 qualification in Childcare, Learning and Development and progressed into the manager’s position, where I oversaw the pre-school move into purpose built premises. I graduated in October 2012 with a Foundation Degree in Early years and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Childhood Studies in 2013. I am a qualified early years assessor and I am passionate about providing excellent learning opportunities and experiences for children, to support and nurture them in their development. Children are precious, each one is unique and special. I believe it is a privilege to work within early years.
