Guiding Principles
Keep children at the centre of the ‘Why?’ and ‘What?’
I am 'a five year old' when I am in class. I always have this question at the forefront of my mind 'How would I feel in this moment?'
Empowering Early Years Staff
I will support, inspire and empower staff working with young children. I will give them the tools they need to overcome their hurdles.
Nurturing children now, with the skills they need tomorrow.
Play is the time when children master and practise skills. Play is the time for children to develop their independent learning skills.
The Third Teacher
I can create a learning environment that unlocks a child's potential for learning. I have a special interest in the power of learning outdoors.
Putting theory into practice
Learning is a lifelong commitment. The day you feel you know it is the day you're done. I am committed to pursuing my understanding of brain development in the early years by keeping up to date with current research.
Elevating Play and putting it at the heart of what we do.
It's time to take back 'play'. Elevate its meaning and own it!
