Julia McDougall
Assistant Practitioner
SEN experience, working toward Level 3. Health and safety rep.
Julia is currently working towards her Level 3 qualification in Early Years. Before joining Woodlands Preschool, she gained valuable experience at a school for children with special educational needs (SEN), where she learned to create inclusive, nurturing environments that enable every child to thrive.
Known for her caring nature, Julia is always ready to offer a comforting cuddle when a child needs reassurance. She is passionate about building strong, trusting relationships with the children in her care and their families, helping to foster a safe and supportive space where everyone feels valued and understood.
Julia also enjoys encouraging children’s curiosity, especially when it comes to exploring the outdoors and developing a love for nature. Watching children grow in confidence, independence, and happiness is what makes her work so rewarding.
Outside of preschool life, Julia spends time with her husband and daughter, and loves travelling whenever possible, discovering new places and experiences along the way.
