I am passionate about offering children quality teaching and learning experiences that enable every child to reach their full potential. My ambition is to ensure that children have the best introduction to school life, with positive friendships and a love of learning. 

I joined the school in 1998 as an experienced and well-qualified Early Years teacher with an Honours Degree and a Certificate of Professional Practice in Early Childhood Education. I ensure that I keep up to date with the latest research and training in this area so that the children get the best possible education.  

Gardening is my other passion which I share with the children by ensuring that our planters in the Reception outside area are full of greenery, fruit and vegetables and flowers.

I am the Nursery teacher at Ellingham School. I have over 17 year experience working in Early years settings ranging from day nurseries to school nurseries. I am a believer in learning through play and making sure the children have a rich learning environment helps the children to achieve their best. 

I qualified as a teacher 8 years ago, alongside a degree in Early years teaching, Early years professional status. I first began my career in Early by qualifying as a Nursery Nursery 20years ago.  

In my own time I enjoy spending time with my young children going for walks, drawing and being creative. One of my favourite things I like to do is baking and cooking. These are skills that I plan to share with the children in Nursery and the wider school.
