I changed my career path from working within a large customer service and sales business to my dream role, working with children. I worked through an apprenticeship and am now the Deputy Room Leader for the Cygnets Room.
The main reason for pursuing my dream is the passion I have for caring for their needs and facilitating their learning. It is so satisfying seeing the children thrive and grow.

I previously studied Media at university, but in my final year decided working with children was what I truly wanted to do. I started my childcare journey working for a small nursery in Ascot where I was a trainee, and a year later I qualified, progressing to becoming the Room Leader of the preschool.
I relocated to Leeds to be closer to my family and friends. I love building relationships with all of the children and watching them learn and grow.

I have graduated from Leeds Beckett University with a first-class honours degree in ‘Childhood Studies’. I have a passion for working with children and strongly believe that play provides many exceptional benefits for a child’s development. I am enthusiastic about creating a fun, enjoyable, and educationally rich environment for all children. I feel that for children to grow they should be surrounded by creativity; I believe the outdoor environment truly sparks children’s curiosity and imaginations.
In my spare time I like to keep active and enjoy spending time with my family and friends.

Working and caring for children to me, is not only a career but a dream. Throughout my seven years of working with children I have found nothing more rewarding than being able to see an impact and the difference a good educator can make on a child’s life and development. I am super enthusiastic about creating a fun, enjoyable and stable educational setting for every child.
I love finding new and fun ways to incorporate different ways to teach and expand a child’s mind through their own common interests, and strongly believe that there are strong benefits of using the outdoors as a tool to initiate this.
In my spare time I love spending time outdoors as well as having quality time with my friends and family!

I am currently studying for my Level 2 qualification in Childcare, being a part of a child’s first learning steps has always been a career path I have wanted to take. Seeing their faces light up when they learn something new brings me so much joy!
Throughout the time I have spent childminding and studying EYFS (www.22streetlanenursery.co.uk/early-years-foundation-stage), I have gained many skills that can positively impact children’s lives to help them grow, learn and develop their social skills as well as many others. I find working with children fulfilling and very rewarding and I look forward to enhancing my skills further at an outstanding nursery.
