My Summary

My Experience

I have worked in Childcare for more than 20 years starting as an apprentice in a private day nursery, I was then employed as a full time qualified member of staff and progressed to a senior member of staff. I then became a deputy manager at a local before & after school club.
I've been a registered childminder since 2011 and I am also registered with Birmingham City Council to be a children's chaperone. I have volunteered at a number of local children's clubs (dance schools) and ran a local playgroup. I still regularly volunteer for one dance school where I am also the joint safeguarding lead.
