Sophie Keenor

University graduate in Primary Education with QTS, with five years of experience working in childcare and nursery settings. I have a genuine passion for supporting children to grow in confidence and reach their full potential. Through my experience, I have developed a strong understanding of how important it is for children to feel safe, valued and encouraged in order to thrive.

I love creating fun, engaging learning experiences that spark curiosity and make children excited to learn, particularly within Early Years environments where strong foundations are built.
