I have 16 years child care experience which includes 12 years nursery and 4 years as a nanny. I am confident in care and development of children between the ages of 0-5. I am a fun, bubbly, loving and nurturing person who strives to provide the best experiences for children to enable them to reach their full potential in life. I believe that with the correct support, environment and freedom within limits, that children will have the capability to initiate their own learning. This will help and allow children to develop their independence skills. use a variety of activities and instructional methods (songs, stories, media, games, art, outdoor activities, etc.) to motivate and stimulate children's abilities. With use of local outdoor spaces I ensure the children have the opportunity to participate in Forest School like activities. During this time the children are encouraged to explore and take supported risks (E.g climbing trees, jump from a safe height). In doing so this essentially helps the children to develop socially, emotionally and physically. I feel that my approach to teaching enables children to become healthy, resilient, creative and independent learners.
