I have been working in Early Years for over 23 years, I have a level 5 in Early Years and am also Forest School trained. I have a passion for teaching in the early years and seeing how children learn and develop in their first stage of life is so important and of course supporting parents in all stages of the early years. I am also SENCo trained and support any additional. We as a team are like a family I work closely in all rooms and support staff with teaching methods with my knowledge.
I consider myself a committed, creative, and enthusiastic educator who believes in making learning fun for children. My 21 years’ experience in schools and nurseries has taught me that parents are children’s first educators, making communication with them vital to children’s learning and development. I am passionate about providing a stimulating and natural learning environment for children; especially considering the nature deficit created because of lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic. Over the years, I have developed the leadership skills crucial to inspiring and motivating teams into working together to create an ethos of quality, learning, care, and development for all children.
I have been at Walton Montessori since 2016. I really do enjoy this nursey as I have multiple experiences of seeing these children thrive and grow into mini mums and dad’s, it’s been lovely to see them from the beginning in baby room to the start of their academic years in school. I try different recipes to enhance their knowledge of different foods, I hope it’s been a journey that everyone will continue to enjoy and not be afraid of trying something new in the world of food. There is lots to explore and try. I hope I have set them on a road of which they will not be afraid of trying something new.
I have worked in the early years industry since April 2018. I am currently working towards my BA (Hons) Degree in Leadership and Management in Early Years. I am a qualified childcare professional who has a responsibility for the day to day running of their room. I feel it is important to perform a role caring for children, maintaining a high quality, stimulating learning environment, supervising staff, imparting their knowledge and skills to others. I am very creative and will continuously reflect on ways to implement new ideas and use a range of strategies to continually improve practice and support management team.
I’m level 3 qualified in Early Years, I have been in childcare for 10 years and have experienced from babies up to preschool. In my career I love to be creative and help children learn through interesting activities. My hobbies are to spend time with my family and my little boy. I love going on walks to the park in my spare time with my family.
I chose to embark on a second career in Childcare in 2019, having previously worked abroad in Travel for well over a decade. My son had been enrolled in Walton Montessori since he was 2, when the whole nursery was upstairs, in one room. Once ILG started the expansion I got talking to Maria Colwell who convinced me to come and join them. Which I was delighted to do! I had 6 months at the setting before Harrison went off to school and was known by all the children as ‘Harrisons Mummy!’. I started in the Baby Room with Charley when it had only been open for a few months, then once my son left for school, I re-joined Charley in the Toddler Room where we are today. Every day is different, and I thoroughly enjoy watching the children grow and develop, as well as watch their little characters come out as they gain confidence. I am currently finishing my Level 3 qualification which has been hard in my old age! My favorite thing to do with the children is to sing and dance which they also enjoy.
Being part of the Early Years Sector for over 8 years brought me the joy not only to develop as a practitioner, completing Level 2 and Level 3 as an Early Years Educator but also to work with children and watching them grow and develop. I have completed several training courses related to children’s development, Safeguarding and SEN, and the most resent one is Nursery Management and Leadership Level 4, which supported the further development of my leading skills.
I completed a level 3 Diploma in childcare in 2010 and a level 3 diploma in leadership and management in 2016. I have worked in childcare since 2010 and have a child of my own, which is an experience in itself. The reason I choose childcare, I believe children are gifts that keep on giving. Your children are all amazingly clever in their own way and to know that I have been a part of that or helped in any little way means I can leave work with a smile on my face each day. With an amazing team at Walton Montessori, it makes each day more enjoyable.
I am a dedicated, and enthusiastic practitioner, developing and fostering the appropriate skills and social abilities to enable the optimum development of children according to their age, ability, and aptitude. I am a compassionate, creative, effective teacher with valuable experience in classroom administration, professional development, and activity planning. I believe that student learns the best when they are in a positive learning environment, where they feel safe, welcomed, comfortable, and free to speak their mind and blossom and grow.
I am a self-motivated and dynamic professional with experience in relevant fields. With a strong awareness and passion for learning and development, I enjoy being part of organisations to promote good positive learning techniques. Now working in a position within an exciting, proactive organisation where I am contributing to the work alongside colleagues to develop resources. I have a total 14 years (approximately) of work experience in different profiles like primary teacher, customer care, admission counsellor and administration. As part of my career, I have started as a Primary school teacher with daily classroom management, monitoring students behaviour and individual student progress. Being in the education field, I clearly understand the level of student management and this knowledge matched with my work competencies.
I am a keen educator with over 14 years of experience in the areas of teaching and child development. I am passionate about building a strong positive rapport with children which will enable them to find comfort and joy in learning and developing their skills. I have Masters in English and Communication which helps me enrich speech and communication in children. In addition, l hold a Diploma in Teaching and Learning from Cambridge International. I firmly believe in the virtues of learning, and this quality has always kept me on the quest to pursue new skill set; I am proud to have acquired Level 3 Early Years Educator certificate. I am fortunate to have worked with children from across varied cultures and countries and from age group 2-11 years old. This has helped me gain deep understanding about children from early to primary years.
A dedicated educator with a degree in Education and a Level 3 qualification in Early Years. I’ve been working in the baby Room at Walton Montessori for over a year now, and I love being part of a community that shares my passion for early childhood education. I enjoy supporting the growth and development of young children in a nurturing and supportive environment, and I’m excited to continue making a positive impact here. I also look forward to broadening my experience by learning from other rooms and contributing to the growth of our children across all ages.
I’m level 3 qualified in Childcare. I have hands on experience with SEN children of different needs. I grew up around special needs people, so I believe I can use this to support me helping children I work with. I consider myself a creative, helpful and committed person. My hobbies are to spend time with friends and family.
I chose to work at Walton Montessori because of my passion for working with children and my appreciation for the Montessori method’s focus on fostering independence, creativity, and a love for learning. I have an undergraduate degree in psychology with a placement year and experience working with children with ADHD and non-verbal autism. I have gained skills in managing behaviours, using alternative communication methods, and creating supportive environments.
World Book Day 2024 at Walton Montessori Sharing books with babies and toddlers helps to inspire a lifelong love of reading. Reading can be a fun thing to do together and have a positive impact later in life, on things like school exam results, pupil wellbeing, and career outcomes.
