I place great importance on the emotional welfare of the children in my care. Through the use of active listening and creative play I am able to respond to their individual needs with understanding and empathy. I provide age appropriate activities including exploring nature, arts and crafts, stories, lots of active out and about excurisions as well as gentle times relaxing with a book or some music. My skills are gained from years of first hand experience supported by a strong interest in child development and extensive reading on the subject.
