I''m a mother of 3 vibrant children, one who is at home with me during childcare hours and two more at the local first school. Before having children I was a special needs reception teacher for 4 years. I am passionate about the early years and believe that building early foundations is key to any childs success in later life. I also believe children should be outdoors as much as possible learning from nature, so we get very messy! I love going on outings to the woods, rivers, local parks and toddler groups. I have good links with the local preschool and am on the committee. I love using music throughout the day and encourage the kids in indepedent play as well as structured activities to support areas of learning that may need it.
