Play, Achieve, Learn Safely

Meet the Team
My name is Mo Tierney and I have worked with children in schools, nurseries and playgroups and as a childminder since 2001. I am Ofsted and ICO registered, insured, a member of Pacey and of Childcare.co.uk and a Staffordshire County Council approved chaperone and a Parent Governor of St Paul’s Primary School. I aim to offer your child and family the best possible, personalised, care. Your child’s development, learning and care will be centred around play and be at their own pace, in a safe and secure environment ingrained with British Values. Where appropriate, activities and experiences will be planned according to EYFS requirements and your child’s age, developmental stage, ability, needs and preferences. Your family will always be treated with respect, whatever your background and I will work in partnership with parents to achieve the best possible outcome.
I have experience of working with children with special needs (ASC, Down Syndrome, Dyspraxia, GDD, Behavioural Issues and ADHD) and will care for special needs children if I have the appropriate facilities, experience and training. If I feel that your child would be better served in a different provision, I will provide you with information which should enable you to find the best possible care.
I sometimes work with an assistant depending on the number of children I am caring for. Children are cared for either at my own home or at St Paul’s Primary School, Garden Street, Stafford depending on the session your child attends.
