My Services
Nurturing Every Child's Growth
As a SENDCO and parent, I fully understand the frustrations that accompany trying to work within 'the system'. I am a caring and compassionate facilitator who is keen to help parents, professional and schools navigate the waters.
I mainly work within the nursery, early years and primary age range, but have written EHCPs, worked with and tutored secondary age pupils for GCSEs, functional qualifications and with EOTAS packages.
I am registered on the online DBS (Disclosure Baring Service), meaning that I am safe to work with children.
