My Experience
I initially started my childcare journey during college when I completed a National Diploma in Childrens Care Learning and Development, this also consisted of several work experience placements in a nursery, primary school and special needs school. I then went on to have various roles in the administrative sector before having my own children. I have spent the last 3.5 years being a full time mum whilst completing the qualifications to become a registered Childminder and having babysitting experience.
