Our Teachers

Becca Hodson

Qualifications:

NVQ Level 3 Teaching Assistant
CACHE Level 3 Diploma CYPD
Enhanced DBS

My background is primarily in Business, having been a PA, Project Co-Ordinator and HR Consultant working for large companies in the private sector.
Following the birth of my children I took a change in career to fit around my family so I volunteered as a parent helper, helping young children with their reading in our village primary school. This led me to apply for the post of Teaching Assistant when it came up. I primarily worked with children in the Foundation Stage but also within KS1 and KS2, helping and supporting them to access all areas of the National Curriculum. During my time there I also trained as a Learning Mentor, and gained experience of Forest School. I moved to Chirpy Chicks in 2010 to experience Early Years development and subsequently gained my Diploma in 2013.
By working in Early Years I am able to support children as they learn in a style that suits them. The Early Years environment allows children to take their learning that little bit deeper and through extended play, I can help build their confidence and also develop the skills needed for their transition into school when the time comes.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, walking, cycling and reading.
