A little about me

I support Nursery groups across different sessions, so I value ideas that can travel with the teaching team while still leaving room for each group’s experience. A prompt or material may be useful in more than one setting, but the way children respond can differ. I want us to notice those differences rather than treat a shared activity as proof that every group had the same experience.

Observation is especially important in the early years. Small changes in attention, play or mark-making can suggest a useful next opportunity, but they need to be considered in context. I look for practical ways to record what happened and share that information with the room teacher, who can decide how it fits with the wider learning plan.

When I help prepare an activity, I want the materials and questions to be easy to carry between sessions. The structure should support the adults without taking over the interaction with children. A teacher can then adapt the invitation, decide what to revisit and keep the record grounded in what the group actually did.
