About Me

Hello, I’m Jasmin, and I’m passionate about providing young children and their families with the best start in life. With 23 years of experience in early childhood education and 25 years as a parent, I’ve guided my three children, who received a Waldorf education, to become kind, confident, and successful individuals. I’ve worked in Steiner Waldorf Kindergartens, including 8 years at Lancaster Steiner School and over a decade at Brighton Waldorf School, where I trained and taught various age groups, from toddlers to young children, emphasising nature, creativity, and holistic development.

With a background as a therapist and wellbeing coordinator, I bring this sensitivity to my work with children and parents.
