About Me
Hello,
I am Jenna. I am a mummy to 2 children. I have always worked in early years setting around Berkshire and have a Degree in Children's Learning and Development.
I am deeply passionate about working with children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), guiding them through their unique journey of growth and celebrating every milestone along the way. My dedication stems from a personal connection – I am a twin to an autistic brother, and from a young age, I found joy in supporting him on his path to development.
One of my fondest memories is reading with him, discovering the world through the pages of books he adored. Our journey together inspired me to create this platform, where I strive to offer support and understanding to families navigating similar paths.
Through "Together One Step at a Time," I aim to share my experiences, knowledge, and insights to foster a nurturing and inclusive community. Here, parents can find solace in knowing they are not alone, free from judgment, and empowered to embrace each step of their child's journey.
Join me as we walk this path together, one step at a time.
Jenna

Working experience
I have over 15 years of working with children in a variety of settings around Reading, Berkshire. This has always been with children aged 6 and under, mainly in nursery settings.
