I am an experienced educational leader who is passionate about the quality of early educational experiences that are provided through a developmentally appropriate, child centred, playful approach to learning.

I am continually asking myself questions and reading research to empower me to facilitate real joyful learning for children.

I had the privilege of contributing to a chapter on children’s well being with Alyson Lewis Senior Lecturer in Education Studies at Bath Spa University. The chapter is in ‘ Teaching Early Years : Thomas & McInnes’ published by Sage.

I have decided to start my education blog as a way of adding my voice to the many who are striving for real change in our education system. Children deserve to thrive and achieve with opportunities that allow them to experience the joy of learning. They hold the creative, innovative key to unlock the wonders of our future society.
