“Hello! I’m Katy and I run Phonics Bear classes in the South Sheffield Area.

I come from a teaching background and have spent many years teaching nursery age children up to Year 2.

After Baby number 3 arrived though, I decided the workload was no longer for me, so took a career break where I set up my own small business, producing and selling reading & craft mail-order boxes for children. My 3 girls were (and still are!) brilliant guinea pigs! 

After a chance introduction to Annette, I decided I’d like a new challenge and am proud to be the first ever Phonics Bear franchisee!

I’m so pleased that I can continue to use my teaching skills & experience, and love running such fun-filled, lively and happy classes each week!  The children are my absolute highlight and I love getting to know them all. 

It’s a sad, but also very satisfying, time when they all go off to ‘big’ school with their new-found confidence and phonics knowledge. I look forward to meeting your little ones soon!”
