COURT FIELDS PRE-SCHOOL CIO

Manager, Designated Safeguarding Lead, setting ENCO, Health and Safety officer and Keyworker

Children’s Learning and Development NVQ Level 4, 3 & 2

Early Years Educator

Speech, language and communication QCF level 3

I have worked in childcare since 2003, starting as a Childminder, so as to stay at home with my own two children. I then took a role in a local setting, as a preschool assistant.

Through my many years working in the Early years sector, I undertook training, qualified and gained experience, working my way up to this position, as a manager. I joined Court Fields Preschool in September 2016.

I specialised in SEND (Special educational needs and disabilities) including Behaviour, focusing on children’s speech and language.

I love to share stories, dance, sing songs and join in activities, with the children. I can be dramatic, loud and am full of fun, engaging children, gaining their attention and imagination. I love my job as children amaze me in how they see the world and in what they can do and achieve.

I am a creative person and love to draw and make up rhymes. At home I love to go on walks with my two dogs, watch a good film and now am into gardening. I have recently, with my husband, renovated a van and enjoy weekends away even though at heart I am a home bird.

Early Learning and childcare QCF level 3 & 2

SENCO L3

I have worked in childcare since 2010. I started working in a nursery after college, with my level 2 qualification, and I have never looked back. I completed my level 3 through an apprenticeship.

I decided to work with pre-school aged children to help them become more confident and ready for starting school, and this was the ideal job whilst I raise my own daughter, I love my job.

I worked my way up to become a deputy manager in 2016 and am very proud of how far I have come in my Early Years career. I continued to train and have now completed a specialised SENCO L3 qualification for supporting children’s Individual needs.

I have a wealth of experience and knowledge in supporting children and their families, through my SENCO role, to support children with special educational needs and children’s behaviour.

I love to sing, dance and share stories, but I am also known for sparking imagination and can often be found in role and imaginative play, off with the children on fantastic adventures.

The children know me for my love of chocolate cake.

Early learning and childcare studies NVQ level 3 & 2

I started working in a preschool, in 2009, when my daughter, my youngest of two, was there.

Since then I have gained qualifications in childcare.

I have spent many years supporting children with SEND, working one to one and focusing on specific needs and outcomes.

I enjoy building close relationships with the children and celebrating their achievements, however big or small, with the families.

I am known for my fun vibrant personality and being crazy as a box of frogs. You only need to look at our videos to see my fun nature.

I love being outside with my children, walking with my dogs, in nature, be it by the river, in the woods or my favourite place, at the beach.
