Summary

A dedicated early years professional with extensive knowledge of the EYFS and experience in language development strategies, including Early Talk Boost Training. Confident with a nurturing personality and a calming presence under pressure, down to earth with strong people skills and a desire to become a well-established member of the team. I have a Paediatric First Aid certificate and hold a clear DBS on the update service. I honestly believe I have a natural ability to connect with children and enjoy creating engaging and educational environments that every child can participate and learn from.
