As an individual I am committed to undertake professional development to enhance the service I offer. In 2014 I graduated from Glyndwr University in Wrexham with a First Class Honours degree in Childhood studies. I hold Quality Comes Home, Quality Assurance which is endorsed both by PACEY  (Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years) and Welsh Government which enables me to offer funded Early Years Education Foundation Phase places along with Flying Start funded places for 2 year olds. In the past I have volunteered as a committee member for PACEY’s Wales Region and in July 2011 I was elected as a Trustee for this UK charity. I am also an elected parent governor at Ysgol Parc Y Llan. It is my aim to attain further qualifications and attend training as much as possible in order to continue my professional development. Listed below are some of the training events and workshops I have attended;
