I have been a teacher for 24 years, I specialised in the Early Years, but have taught children from nursery up to year two. 

​

I have two children, Aniya who is 19 and Arun who is 16. After having sent both children to two different preschools, I became aware that provisions wildly differ. I truly feel that children of a young age learn so much and providing them with a range of stimulating and exciting opportunities is a must.

Safer Recruitment trained

I have been a teacher for 30 years, I specialised as an Early Years teacher and have taught Nursery through to Year 2.

​

I have two children, Joseph who is 17 years old and Ella who is 15.  Watching them grow and develop fuelled my desire to own my own preschool. I feel passionately that early years education should be of the highest quality as it is laying the foundation for the rest of their school life.
