1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

My role is a nursery practitioner. Day to day basis I am observing children- tracking their learning and progress, fur filling their needs such as feeding them, changing their nappies, comforting them, playing with them and more. I enjoy to make them happy in the care they are in and making everyday enjoyable and fun for them.
