Rose Akachi

Over the last 15 years, Rose has taught and led Early Years Foundation Stage departments in both the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates. Rose discovered her passion for working in the Early Years, when she worked on a play project, whilst she was studying at The London College of Fashion.

Rose believes that the Foundation Stage is a crucial time in a child’s educational journey as it lays the foundation for future learning and development. Rose is a champion of learning through play and understands the importance of children being given the time and autonomy to explore, create and solve problems.

Her Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Education and Education Studies ignited a passion to learn more about best practice in the Early Years and she believes it is crucial to keep up to date with Early Years research. Rose enjoys attending conferences and she has spoken at ADEK and digital education events on subjects such as technology in the Early Years.

Rose is proud to have led her departments to achieve ‘Outstanding’ ratings in BSO, ADEK Nursery and KHDA inspections. She is looking forward to joining the team at DBF and working with the team to continue the ‘Outstanding’ Early Years practice.
