My Summary
About Me
Hi I am a mum of two (10 year old girl and 3 year old boy). We live in Arlesey and have a cosy home. Although I have a dedicated garden and external play room to which we spend our day in. As a family we enjoy lots of outdoor activities such as camping, canoeing and walks with our dog.
My Experience
I have over 18 years experience working with children, several of which have been in early years where the children have been the curriculum guided by EYFS, birth to 5, and development matters all whilst helping them grow independently. I have along the way enjoyed various courses of development such as forest school and neuroscience (brain development) within the early years and currently working towards a my level 5 in early years.
We are ‘little explorers’ based in arlesey. We have a play room and kitchen area solely for the children to play in and explore activities they wish to do from messy play, mud kitchen and potion making to building with a wide range of loose parts. We spend a lot of time out and about exploring the local area on walks, to the farm, Shuttleworth to see the planes and further afield with day trips to the zoo, Duxford and larger woods such as Salcey forest.
