I firmly believe that children are extremely important and it’s a privilege to care for them and help them to learn, thrive and flourish.

I began my childcare career in 1974 and have worked in a number of day nurseries, pre-schools and nursery school settings. I have been an early years advisor and have 13 years’ experience as an early years Ofsted inspector. I also currently support childcare students studying at Bishop Burton College, assessing their practice in the workplace.

I have worked in childcare for over 14 years, most recently working as a practitioner in a pre-school in Hessle.

I hold recognised level 2 and 3 childcare qualifications and enjoy attending on-going training to update my skills and experience. I find the job very rewarding; seeing children grow, learn and develop. I’m looking forward to my role at Hunsley Primary and working in close partnership with parents and staff.

I have over 10 years’ experience of working with children and hold a recognised childcare qualification.

I have previously worked as a volunteer in a primary school and also as a lunchtime supervisor. This work inspired me to work towards gaining a recognised childcare qualification and I successfully achieved this ambition in 2010. Since then I have worked as a nursery nurse in a pre-school based in Hessle. My desire to pursue employment in childcare stems from having my own children and watching them grow, develop and achieve their goals. I understand that all children are unique and I feel I have the skills, knowledge and understanding to support each child to develop in confidence and self-esteem so they reach their full potential.
