I became the Early Years Advisor for Greenwoods in June 2018, I have always been passionate about this area of childcare and I am grateful that I can finally pursue this having taken on this role. I have attended ‘New to SENco training’ enabling me to widen my knowledge and also SENco conferences where i have heard parents speak about their experiences first hand having had support from their local early years advisors.

I have recently completed my level 2 in understanding autism and hope to further my knowledge in other areas in which children may require support. I am gaining more and more experience regarding the different types of support children may need for instance speech and language therapy and referrals for these. If you have any concerns/ questions please feel free to speak to me directly.

I am one of the Early Help Advisors at Greenwood’s nursery and I am always available should you need to discuss your child’s learning and development, or anything else that may be of a concern to you such as behaviour, sleep, healthy eating etc.

I have worked in the Early Years sector for many years, a job which I absolutely love. I completed my SENCO training with Gloucestershire County Council in October 2019 as well as completing Makaton and Autism Awareness training. I have recently completed my Level 3 Certificate in the Principles of Special Educational Needs.

My aim is to ensure that each and every child who may or may not need additional support is encouraged to reach their full learning and development potential and I believe that early intervention is the key. If you would like to speak with me please do not hesitate to get in touch, I am more than happy to help.
