About Nicola
32 years old
Speaks
English
I am a fully qualified early years practitioner with 15 years experience, working in the private sector and currently in a children and family centre with children ages 0-5.
Within the private sector I also cared for children ages 5-12 in breakfast, after school and holiday clubs, providing rap around care and organising fun activities to engage children, based on their interests.
I have sound knowledge of current documents such as realising the ambition and curriculum for excellence, providing fun learning experiences for children to meet their developmental needs through play.
I have experience working with children with autism and exceptional care needs and have undergone various training courses on these to enable me to support each child the best way possible.
I love the outdoors and have some experience in forest schools activities. I understand the importance of children exploring the world around them whilst having fun and staying safe.
I also have first aid, child protection and food hygiene certificates.
