Introduction – just a little about me

I’ve been a dedicated teacher for over 20 years. I’m passionate about giving children the best start in life.

From classroom teacher to Deputy Head, I’ve always championed early learning.

Helping to open an educational nursery was a proud milestone—creating a nurturing space where children thrive. I’ve been an Early Years lead for many years.

A real passion of mine is supporting phonics and early reading, helping children build strong literacy foundations and empowering staff to teach with confidence. Educating and supporting children and parents is more than a job—it’s my lifelong mission. I’m dedicated to early intervention, the magic of storytelling, and helping every child feel seen, valued, and inspired to learn.
