As Director of One Step Up Childcare, I am passionate about creating a warm, safe, and welcoming environment where every child feels valued, cared for, and supported. I believe the early years are a precious time that shapes children’s confidence, wellbeing, and love of learning, and I feel privileged to be part of their journey.
Building strong, respectful relationships with children, families, and educators is central to my role. I strive to lead with kindness, empathy, and collaboration, supporting our team to grow professionally and deliver high-quality, reflective practice.
At the heart of our centre is the belief that secure, nurturing relationships provide the foundation for learning and belonging. Through teamwork and reflection, we work together to implement the EYLF and uphold the NQS in meaningful, child-centred ways to ensure we can give your child the best start in life.
