My Summary
About Me
The Craft House is a nurturing early years setting for children aged 0–8, led by experienced educator Shireen.
Nature walks, creative crafting with natural materials, and hands-on cooking using whole foods and organic ingredients.
Family-run, heart-led, and surrounded by green space — right on Mackie Avenue, opening directly onto Mackie Park.

My Experience
I have over 20 years’ experience working with children of all ages. I hold a high-level qualification in Early Years education and care, and my background includes work in fostering and adoption, as well as managing a busy medical department in one of the city’s largest secondary schools. After working as a deputy manager and senior educator in local nursery schools, I’ve now opened my own family-run practice—based in a real family home—offering a warm, nurturing, and professional environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.
