As an ardent advocate for all things early years, I have crafted and honed this passion through eighteen dedicated years in a range of early years settings.
I am currently an early years lecturer at University College Birmingham, where I deliver the Level 2 Early Years Practitioner and Level 3 Early Years Educator courses. I deliver modules through engaging and immersive lectures that facilitate and support learners in a participatory environment to develop their knowledge and teaching skills.
Formerly I have worked across the sector as a self-employed Ofsted registered childminder, family support and safeguarding officer and, most recently, an early years teacher across two local authority maintained nursery schools. I utilise this industry expertise and knowledge alongside students’ own shared experiences on placement to ensure a holistic breadth of understanding in the course content alongside real life experience.
