Hello, I am Mrs Taylor and I am the Nursery Teacher at Fairmeadows. Being a teacher is the best job in world - every day is different, full of fun and adventures. I love a classroom where children are exploring, enjoy reading books, are independent and inquisitive, but above all else are having oodles of fun!
Outside of school, I love spending time with my family, reading and looking after my two dogs Pippa and Jessie. I also play the flute and love a pair of jazzy shoes!
Our team is made up of:
Mrs Balcon (Nursery Teacher + EYFS Lead) Miss Gothard (Learning Assistant),

Characteristics of Effective Learning
The characteristics of effective learning describe factors that play a central role in a child’s learning and in becoming an effective learner. They represent processes rather than outcomes. When assessing and working with the children, we look out for these characteristics.
These are:
Playing and Exploring
Active Learning
Creating and Thinking Critically
