My Summary
About Me
I'm a qualified science teacher and midwife. I am currently full but i am taking names for September 2022. I am 41 years old and live with my 8 year old daughter and 16 year old son in our pet free home.
Our home is a clean, cosy and welcoming place for when the little foresters want to rest and play, but I'm all about the outdoors and I am passionate about taking children into our environment to create quality learning experiences. We will regularly be seen trampling through the forest with a flask of hot chocolate with a back pack full of tools and treasures. As a former teacher, I strive to create engaging resources to meet your child's unique learning style.
I create a positive learning environment where children can develop skills and confidence at their own pace.
It is important to me that children are happy and feel valued, cared for and safe in my care. I aim to work in partnership with parents and carers to maintain effective channels of communication to support your child's health and development.
I am conscientious about providing healthy, nutritious meals and believe that involving children in cooking promotes their confidence and skills in food preparation and making healthy lifestyle choices.
As a midwife, I am competent in providing hygienic, dignified care and administering medications and emergency first aid from birth.

My daughter Skye has been going to Jade's for over a year now and she is amazing with her, she takes them out as much as possible to experience new adventures and does home activities and reads books to the children. Skye talks about Jade and all her friends all the time and she loves going to her house. Skye didn't talk when she started and struggled with this but she started talking more and more (now she doesn't stop). I'd tried different nursery's before finding Jade but Skye didn't like going, but she settled so fast with Jade. I was worried about first aid and making sure Skye was safe been a first time mum and Jade has the experience and qualification to know what to do in any situation which put my mind at ease. Excellent childcare provider
