Laura-Jayne Dutton

Dedicated and caring Childcare Practitioner with strong experience supporting children from birth onwards in both nursery and one-to-one settings. I am patient, nurturing, and enthusiastic, with a clear understanding of safeguarding, child development, and daily routines. I take pride in creating a safe, stimulating, and supportive environment where children feel confident, happy, and valued.

Reliable and flexible, I work well independently and as part of a team and am always eager to continue developing my skills through training and hands-on experience.
