All about me
My name is Julie Slasor and I have taken this opportunity to set up my own business, after being faced with redundancy. I worked within the local
Children Centres for over 5years. Up until I was made redundant I worked as a Parent Outreach Worker which involved me working in a range of venues including schools. I have a vast amount of experience working with children and their parent and carers in a variety of capacities.
My role within the Children Centres included delivering Music and Movement, Infant Massage, Splash and Swim, Cooking Activities, Messy Play sessions and visiting parents within their own homes to support with behaviour management etc.
I have have an Honours Degree in Children and Young People and a PGCE in Life Long Learning. and I am a qualified assessor. I am however a qualified Nursery Nurse too. Prior to this I have worked in the fitness industry as a qualified fitness instructor working within gyms, leisure centres and other community venues until the birth on my daughter in 2001. I have a wealth of experience in relationship to the benefits of exercise as well as in child development.
I am a trained Childrens Safety Officer. I have taught mums to support other mums in breastfeeding support, and due to being a Positive Parenting Practitioner I have taught parents and carers behaviour management techniques and strategies to manage undesirable behaviour as well as supporting with implementing sleep routines and toilet training etc.
