About us

My name is Kate Akiode; I’m a mama of two young children, one of whom is just starting his Nursery adventures!

I had my first Ofsted visit in October 2022 and am fully registered with Ofsted.

I have been a Special needs teacher (for children with complex medical & profound disabilities) for 17 years.  I am trained in Makaton and On-Body signs and have very good pre-verbal communication skills.  I have extensive experience in epilepsy and gastrostomy feeding. I am also a trained practitioner in TACPAC massage, which is suitable for SEN and young children (under 2yrs)

I am trained in Paediatric First Aid, and both I and my husband are fully DBS checked.

For now, I have stepped away from education to enjoy being home with my youngest child and to offer some of my experience with children to others.  I know the importance of play and nurture during the early years, and my ethos is that all children can reach their full potential, given the right support, love and care.
