My Summary
From Small Acorns, Mighty Oaks Grow.
About Me
I strive to provide a home-from-home environment for your little ones. Here, they can explore their creativity and fully enjoy the great outdoors.
In my spare time, I love cooking, baking, and indulging in all things creative. Growing up as a farmer’s daughter instilled in me a deep appreciation for the countryside and fresh air, which I love sharing with the children in my care. I’m excited to embark on this wonderful journey alongside your little ones, helping them learn, grow, and create lasting memories.
As a mother of three, I understand how crucial family is and the significance of quality childcare. That’s why I took the leap from teaching to childminding; working from home lets me cherish precious moments with my family.
Thank you for considering Acorn Childminding for your childcare needs!
My Experience
My work experience spans roles over 18 years starting as a TA then progressing to becoming a primary teacher, and SENDCO, allowing me to support every child’s unique needs effectively. I worked as a TA for 15 years in Primary Schools, working from Reception to year 5 children. I worked as a Primary Scholl teacher for 6 years, teaching children in Year 2, Year 4 and Year 5. I became the school's SENDCo and worked in this role for 2 and a half years, organising SEND provision throughout the school. In addition to this, alongside my TA role, I worked as a counsellor, empathy and understanding from this role are also key attributes to working with children.
