Hello, my name is Lucy and I am a mum of two boys, living in Thurston near Bury St Edmund’s. My career background has been in adult social care working with individuals with learning disabilities. After having my two children I have such a passion being around children and supporting them to develop and achieve their goals that I felt working in a child setting would be a great career change that I would enjoy! I live with my partner Chelsey she works in adult social care and also my two sons and our little dog Marnie.
I love being active and being outdoors, exploring new places and having fun!
I have completed EYFS , Food Hygiene, Safeguarding and Paediatric First Aid. I plan to further my development by completing additional courses.
I am a home from home setting with indoor and outdoor areas for children to play. The day will be planned around the children’s interests and promoting development. There is a little park on my housing development but there is also a really lovely park with a sand pit and different types of playing equipment and also a little indoor soft play within a ten minute walk from my house.
I ask for packed lunch to be provided however I am happy to provide snacks.
I will be focusing on early years children but am also open to wrap around care for school drops offs and pick ups if this fits in with our routine.
Monday – Friday 7:30-17:00 All year around with exceptions of my personal holidays which will be notified ASAP, no bank holiday or weekends planned. I am happy to make adjustments with discussion with regards to later finishes/ bank holidays however I will not work weekends
All government funding is accepted. Stretched funding is available
Most of my career I have worked with special education needs and learning disabilities so I have lots of experience within this and I would ensure that I have an enabling setting to meet the needs of individuals. I would welcome children from all different backgrounds and nationalities. I will ensure that I make adjustments so that every child is able to participate in all activities and be inclusive of children’s beliefs and culture.
