Meet The director

As the Director of One Step Up Childcare, I am deeply committed to creating a safe, welcoming environment where children can thrive, learn, and grow. I believe that the early years are the foundation of a child’s life, shaping who they will become. This is why I am so passionate about nurturing their sense of well-being, belonging, and opportunities for growth. Seeing the joy and smiles on the children’s faces every day is the most rewarding part of my role, and I am incredibly grateful for the relationships I build with children, families, and staff.

I recognise the influential role I hold in promoting positive outcomes for everyone within our centre. I believe that strong, effective educational leadership is key to building the capacity of our educators. By inspiring, motivating, and challenging them, I help extend their practices and pedagogies, ensuring they continue to grow professionally and personally.

Building secure attachments with children is at the heart of quality care, and I emphasise the importance of connection through frequent, sustained interactions. I aim to lead my team with a focus on quality practice, aiming for effective outcomes in our educational programs. Reflective practice is essential to my leadership, enabling us to deliver the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and meet the National Quality Standard (NQS) to the highest standards.
