Its taken some time but the new website is live and after 4 years of principles, pedagogy and practice (bit of a mouthful) I have now morphed into WatchMeGrow. It's hard finding a new name that captures what I do but having started my work with children a long time ago by training as a Nursery Nurse (NNEB), where observation was (and still is for me) the starting point of everything, it seemed sensible to call the new website WatchMeGrow.
It's a real privilege to watch children as they play, explore, think , talk, discover and grow. It's also a real challenge as we try to understand what they are doing and why and then help them. Watching learning unfold in a truly creative and unique way where every child is different and you are never quite sure what will happen next.....it's the unexpected that makes working with young children so inspiring.
Have a look at the following story unfolding.... what do you think is happening as Jalilah plays with the bread crates?
