I have worked in childcare for over 7years. I have had passion for working with children since leaving school. I love interacting with the children and watch them develop and grow individually through play and arranged activities. Every day is full of fun and laughter as we spend quality time outdoors come rain or shine. I love working in partnership with parents to support the development of their children. It’s lovely to see them achieve each little milestone and how they learn to interact with other children. When I am not at work, my hobbies include reading, music concerts and travelling.

A typical day for me in the baby room is having fun along with the babies as we sing, dance and read stories. I am very creative and love getting a bit messy play with the children as they explore using various sensory materials and also spending time in the sensory room. I am also privileged to be working within a wonderful and friendly team who makes it a point of duty to create a friendly and happy atmosphere and environment for the children to learn.

Paola

Assistant SENCO

Cache Diploma in Children workforce Level 3 /Nursery practitioner

Becoming a mum made me reconsider my career aspirations and as I watched my children develop and grow, I found myself constantly amazed by their spirit, tenacity and their creative abilities. My experience has been incredibly rewarding and ignited a passion within me for early years learning. I am a very creative person and I truly believe that Arts and Messy Play is a very important way for children to explore their imagination and understanding of the world. I love to see them discover and explore new materials, helping them to develop their confidence and independence to learn. I am constantly looking for ways to support children with additional needs.
