Location: Based in Ellesmere Port, but I work across the county

Duties

Cheshire's pedagogue team provides the qualified teacher support within our children's centres. We work alongside early years consultants and area SENCOs, as part of the inclusion and quality assurance team.

I share lead responsibility for the team with Jo Basford, and my role has two main aspects. The first is to ensure the development of quality provision and practice within children's centres. In Cheshire, we work with schools and private, voluntary and independent providers to develop flexible, inclusive and sustainable childcare for all children. Our vision is to create a workforce that embraces the holistic needs of the child and family through combining the care and education of children.
