Catherine, childcare in Basildon

I currently work part time in a Primary School in Harold Hill and have over 15 years of experience across KS1, KS2 and EYFS. Throughout my career, I’ve developed a strong understanding of how early support shapes a child’s ability to thrive, both academically and emotionally.
I believe children learn best through active, engaging and appropriately challenging experiences. I’m confident in delivering high-quality play-based learning that is purposeful, fun and tailored to each child’s developmental needs. Supporting early reading, phonics and phonological awareness is a particular passion of mine, and I love helping children build the foundational skills that set them up for lifelong learning.
I also have my own 3-year-old little boy, and we spend lots of time exploring nature, visiting forests and parks, and going on duck-feeding adventures! I bring the same nurturing, playful and imaginative approach to the children I work with, helping them feel safe, confident and eager to learn!
