Thank you for your application

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;">I have a BA(hons) in Early Childhood Studies and over 30 years of experience working in a variety of different Early Years settings as a practitioner and as part of management teams. I understand the importance of matching the right person with the right setting and my experience means I am able to empathise with the demands of managing a nursery as well as working within a team to best support the children. I am passionate about raising standards in Early Years and will help settings by matching them with high quality staff, following safer recruitment practices and keeping safeguarding a priority. I am happy to talk to candidates, getting to know them and their professional requirements.</span></p>
