Summary
I am a dedicated Early Years Educator with a First Class degree. Since the completion of my degree, I have had three children and looked after my niece part-time. During this period, I enjoyed implementing my expertise by creating engaging sensory experiences and promoting outdoor learning, informed by techniques from forest school leaders observed on placements. During my time as a supply teacher, I have actively applied my early years knowledge in all settings, supporting child development. Having recently taken maternity leave, I am now ready to return part-time to further demonstrate my commitment and love of teaching.
