A little about me

I teach an early years group and pay close attention to what children are doing throughout the day. I make short observations so I can return to the details when I plan, rather than relying on a general impression. Those records should describe what happened, not compare one child with another or promise a milestone on a fixed timetable.

I also support the transition from early years into primary school. Families need clear information about the process and a chance to ask questions, while children benefit from adults who keep the focus on their needs. I want written materials to be accurate and straightforward, with the limits of what we know made clear.

In planning, I look for ideas that can be used in the next session without adding unnecessary choices. A resource is most helpful when it gives me a practical starting point and leaves the judgement with the teacher who knows the group. I can then adapt it, observe the response and decide what information is useful to carry into the next conversation or stage of planning.
