Summary

A dedicated and enthusiastic reception teacher with a passion for early years education. My proven ability to build excellent relationships within the class, as well as parents and my co-workers, has allowed me to become a class teacher alongside working towards a degree. I pride myself in promoting early learning through playful, engaging activities and thoughtful lesson planning.

I thrive in creating calm, nurturing environments where every child feels safe, supported, and inspired to learn. With a child-centred approach, I foster inclusive learning experiences tailored to individual needs, including those with special educational needs. From outdoor play supervision to classroom routines, I ensure that every moment is an opportunity for exploration, growth, and joy in learning.
