Ivy Lord

I am a hardworking, enthusiastic, and caring individual with experience working with children through both gymnastics coaching and a nursery assistant role. I have developed strong communication, teamwork, and leadership skills, along with the ability to support children of different ages, abilities, and needs. My experience has taught me the importance of creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where children can learn, develop confidence, and reach their full potential.

I am passionate about working with children and am keen to begin an Early Years apprenticeship to further develop my knowledge, skills, and career within the childcare sector.
