About Emma:
I have actively worked in childcare for over a decade having gained my qualification many moons ago, however I have kept up to date with training and latest developments in childcare during that time.
I have worked at little angels since January 2018 where I have been given the privilege of working within the management team. Prior to that I worked in another local setting where I spent seven happy years doing what I love the most.
My goal as an early years practitioner is to provide a bright stimulating, engaging environment for the children in my care. I want every child who walks through the door to feel loved and valued and my biggest priority is giving the children the tools they need to reach their full potential. As a parent myself I understand how important it is to feel secure when leaving your children so strong parent links are also important to me.
