Nursery apprentice Review

I work in preschool room which involves caring for children each unique to there own. We open from 7:30 to 6:00 and can have jobs such as toilet training, creating activities, serving food, nappy changing, and making sure the environment is clean and tidy. With preschool we like to get them ready for school by learning letters numbers and shapes.

I have learnt many skills like how to communicate to a large number of children. I've had to learn the policies at the nursery and the daily routine as each nursery as a way that works for them. We work as a team and even though your set to a room you find yourself helping other rooms to. My confidence has grown massively while being here.

I love my programme. I find the webinars interesting and the people I work with are caring and supportive. I enjoy that every day is different. Seeing the children develope has to be the best part of the job as well as just being a comfort to a child that might be upset.

I believe that there is a structure but would be more helpful if I knew when I was having meetings further in advance but maybe I just need to get use to that structure. With in the nursery there is a structure which means I feel helpful as I know exactly when things to need to be done by

From my employer I feel there is a lot of support. She has made it clear that her door is always open from the start, so I feel I can always go to her if I have a problem. My room leader has also been a massive help through my course as I feel I have learnt a lot from her.

They have made it known that I can talk to them when ever I want. Obviously I don't see them on a daily basis but I know that I have easy access to getting in touch with them if I need any help. And my trainer is lovely.

It definitely helps. I learn the theory which allows me to use it in my practice. Learning what a child should be expected to know/ do as part of the EYFS in order to develop is a great way of planning my next steps with my key children as well as any activities.

We do noodle now courses that are put forth my by training provider. This allows us to stay up to date with our knowledge of the course. We all stay in touch on what's app so any news of events will be shown and sorted out between each other.

Yes

Because we give them the best care and we are such a loving team. We aim to make sure that we have the best parent relationship and strive to make everyone feel welcomed. To people who want to work at the nursery I would say definitely as long as you are a team player and work hard

Make sure you are knowledgeable on the EYFS framework. You need to be a caring person and love to care for children. You need to be a team player and be able to use your initiative. You have to be hardworking and good with time management. Lastly you have to be great with children.
