Why

Early years has always been my passion and I want to share that with as many people as possible!

 

It all stems from my childhood.... I struggled to learn, make friends and I was often bullied in primary and secondary school. I was always a quiet child who preferred creative and active learning to academic activities. I used to study so hard just to achieve basic satisfactory grades. I later learned while in university that I had mild dyslexia.

 

I now want to help as many children as I can find fun and exciting ways to learn to improve their confidence and build their self-esteem.

 

After teaching and working with children for 15 years I decided to go alone and start working towards my dream of having my own early years centre. I still have a long way to go but I love being my own boss and my business has grown quickly.

 

I adore what I do and I feel so thankful to all those who have supported me throughout my journey.
