ellie gradwellHello, I’m Miss Ellie! I’m a dedicated early years educator with a strong foundation in child development, having completed my Level 2 Childcare Educator qualification and currently working towards my Level 3 Early Years Educator accreditation. My journey in early years education is driven by a profound belief that every child deserves a nurturing and inclusive environment where they can blossom into their unique selves.

I find endless joy in engaging with little ones - whether through inspiring outdoor adventures in our nursery garden, lively discussions during playful moments, or hands-on projects like our daily gardening club. Working alongside colleagues like Miss Sally, I help create interactive experiences where learning goes beyond the classroom, inviting children to explore nature, develop fine motor skills, and build social connections.

Grounded in proven attachment theory practices, I strive to ensure that every child feels seen, heard, and valued as an integral member of our community. I bring the latest insights from my studies directly into our daily routines, creating an atmosphere of trust, warmth, and continuous learning. Whether it’s through a simple conversation or an engaging outdoor activity, I am committed to laying the foundation for a lifetime of curiosity, confidence, and growth.

I look forward to growing together with our little learners, creating a safe space where every moment is an opportunity for discovery and every child is celebrated.
