Hello! My name is Mrs Westnidge, and I have had the pleasure of working in Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) for over 15 years. I am passionate about supporting children as they grow, learn, and develop, and I firmly believe that the best learning happens through play, exploration, and discovery.

One of my favourite subjects to teach is phonics. I find it incredibly rewarding to watch children develop their reading and writing skills across the year. The progress they make—from those first letter sounds to becoming confident readers and writers—is truly phenomenal, and I feel privileged to be part of that journey.

I also love sharing stories and bringing books to life in the classroom. Children’s picture books are my favourite, and one of the stories I most enjoy reading is Supertato! Hopefully, I’ll get the chance to share it with you. I believe that books should be exciting and meaningful, helping children to connect with language and storytelling in a fun and engaging way.

When I’m not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family and exploring new places together.

I’m really looking forward to meeting you all in September and starting our learning adventure together!
