My Summary

My Experience

In the 30 years experience of early years education, I made a change in my career and left nursery management in 2003 to go into training early years professionals. This decision was influenced by the lack of staff with the correct skills and qualities that I was asked to employ.

I have worked as an early years professional as well as an early years Lecturer\Trainer. I have experience of working which children from 0-18 years of age. I am willing to work with children of all ages. I am qualified with my Post Graduate Certificate in Education which qualifies me to teach in nurseries as well as in Further Education\Higher Education.

Enjoy the outdoors and Forest school philosophy and am working towards my Forest School Practitioner Level 3 qualification. Enjoy swimming and have advanced qualifications which allow me to Scuba dive to 30 meters. Have taught children in my care to swim in the past.

Have vast experience in setting up and establishing routines with babies as used to work in a baby room registered for 21 babies and then went on to run 20 place 12-18 months room.
