Hi, my name is Farzana, but you can call me Faz. I am a mother of 4, with over 20 years of experience of motherhood and career in childcare, education and teaching. I started my journey in childcare after becoming a mother, from taking parenting courses to qualifying a foundation degree in childhood and youth studies. Throughout these 20 years I have attained a number of childcare qualifications and accumulated a vast amount of knowledge, skills and experience in childcare and teaching children from the ages of 5 to 18. I was graded an outstanding from a Ofstead inspection during a EYFS music activity lesson which I conducted. However, my most valuable practice is my parenting and nurturing demeanor. I believe I am a caring and kind individual with a can-do attitude. I believe children learn through play and mimicry, which is why I feel my bubbly persona and positivity will spark through to the children I care for and inspire them to be positive and happy while in my care and hopefully to carry this to their home and personal life.
