About Me

During the school shutdown during the coronavirus outbreak we are remaining open to key worker during the hours of 06:00-20:00. Please contact us for availability.

Prior to working in childcare I studied Accounting and Computing at the University of Sunderland achieving a 2:1 degree classification and another in Law at Northumbria University, again achieving a 2:1.

I have two children of my own (currently aged fourteen and ten years old) and have many years experience working with young children. Since my eldest started primary school I have regularly volunteered to work with the children helping teach them to read and write and attend numerous outings travelling by public transport as well as private transportation.

For the past five years I have regularly taught children at my local church (Sacred Heart) on a Sunday morning as well as preparing the children to make their First Holy Communion, working closely with the school. 

I believe every child has the ability to achieve whatever they want to in life and at TOTS ARE US we embrace that ethos and encourage the children to strive and reach their full potential through varying types of play. As an early years provider we must comply with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and teach your child the various areas of learning through play. These are communication and language, physical development, personal, social and emotional development (PSED), literacy, mathematics, understanding the world and expressive arts and design.

TOTS ARE US know what its like to be a working parent and have children in childcare, we therefore try to make every parent's working life as seamless as possible. To discuss your requirements get in touch!
