Childcare Practitioner

About me
I have recently finished my Level 3 Childcare qualification, and have felt privileged to do so through spending the year with Middlewood Nature Nursery. During my journey here, I have watched many children develop into young, brave adventurers, as well as developing my own understanding and gratitude towards nature and the blessings it brings.
Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, and meeting new people whilst visiting new places. I have recently become vegetarian; so have been enjoying experimenting with different foods and learning to cook diverse dishes. I find it important to keep my mind stimulated, so I enjoy setting myself goals and learning from and about others. I am very sociable and will find happiness sat around a fire indulged in deep conversations about our capitalist society, putting the world to rights! I am proud that I am able to encourage outdoor learning amongst our little ones, as I feel as though we are best able to build on our life skills this way. Life, for me, is about experiencing the world for what it is, and exploring our capabilities and character… not sitting inside behind a screen!
