I would like to take the opportunity to introduce myself as the Centre Director for York House and give you a bit of background about me.  I bring a broad range of experience in the Early Years field with roles including nursery and pre-school management, and significant experience with special educational needs. 
My professional focus has always been to provide high quality play-based education that meets the needs and interests of babies and children alongside a nurturing and caring environment. I have a strong belief in the importance of supporting babies and children with speech and language development, emotional regulation and independence skills enabling each individual child to reach their full potential in readiness for school.
