MY STORY
How I Began and Where I’m Headed
I have been working professionally with children since I began Norland at the age of 17. There isn’t much I have not come across in my career. I have dealt with children who are extremely ill, who have severe behavioural problems, who have special educational needs, I have helped parents understand their children with Bespoke Family Support when they feel their lives are out of control, I have looked after families and their new babies as a maternity nurse and large groups of children as a Montessori teacher and even very intimate one to one in play therapy sessions.
As I have come across different issues parents meet I have consolidated my experience with learning (CPD) so my knowledge is always relevant and up to date.
Throughout all my experience I believe that Montessori is the best type of learning system for children as it offers the one to one holistic care supporting the child to be independent and develop a intrinsic love of learning. Which is so important in the early years as the brain develops. Parenting can be overwhelming and my Norland training and the Montessori Pedagogy offer parents and carers a down to earth easy to understand way to have the most fun with your children. If you are find discipline and issues i offer Positive discipline work shops and courses so as a family you can commutate in a respectful manner.
I think the world of childcare is complicated. I would like parents to be able to access good quality care and advice in a modern way. I am a one stop shop that can be by your side through out your parenting journey supporting your family from new born to the teenage years.
