About Kate

I’m Kate, and I’ve spent over 20 years working creatively with young children and the practitioners who support them. Currently developing revolutionary practice with 2-year-olds through Cocoon, funded by Youth Music’s Energiser Fund.

I understand the unique challenges of creative practice in early years – the constant justification, the isolation, the exhaustion of advocating for what you know works. I’ve been there.

My approach is unhurried, supportive, and grounded in real experience. I won’t give you quick fixes or theory from textbooks. Instead, I offer genuine understanding and space to explore what’s really going on in your practice.

In Practice

This moment captures everything – a child completely absorbed in discovering the flute. These are the moments of deep engagement that creative practitioners facilitate every day.

This is the work I understand. The patience it takes. The trust required. The magic when it happens. And yes, the exhaustion when everyone else just sees ‘playing with instruments’.
