Chandani Persaud

Opted not to return to my Radiography career when my daughter was born during Covid. I researched the montessori philosophy and set up a nursery setting for her in my home.

As my daughter was not able to access nursery, I studied the EYFS framework to better understand the personal, social and developmental needs of children at that age, and created a deeply nourishing and educational environment for her at home.

When she started school, I downloaded the curriculum from the school website and the national curriculum from the government website to ensure she was working in line with what was expected for her age, and I supplemented her learning and development at home.

I joined the PTA in her school, which consisted of 5 mums at the time, helping with the planning and implementation of all PTA events, mothers day stall, fathers day stall, Christmas fair, school disco's.
