Abby Jane

.As a compassionate and experienced childcare professional with a background in teaching, youth work and children's mental health, I am dedicated to fostering a nurturing, engaging, and developmentally enriching environment for young children. Skilled in building trusting relationships, I bring a deep understanding of child development and learning, using creative and interactive approaches such as outdoor play, arts and crafts and cooking. My experience working closely with families, schools, and local authorities has enhanced my ability to provide well-rounded support, ensuring children's emotional and educational needs are met. I am organised, proactive, flexible and kind, and have a huge love for the outdoors, sports and horses. I am passionate about working with children to help make a positive impact on their lives and I am committed to creating a safe, and joyful space, working as a team with the parents to allow children to flourish.
