Deputy Manager Review

As a deputy manager, my role and responsibility is to promote high standards of care and learning across the nursery. This includes mentoring, coaching and supporting staff with their professional development and improving their practice. This also includes working alongside parents to provide best possible outcomes for children.

Throughout my apprenticeships so far, I have learnt many new skills such as leadership skills, coaching and mentoring skills and delegating skills. I have also developed my organisational, team working and partnership skills.

I have really enjoyed the topics I have covered throughout my course so far. The topics are interesting and relatable and has helped me to develop my awareness on different topics beneficial to my role.

The programme is structured very well. It is broken into small achievable tasks and the learning platform is amazing. My assessor is also very helpful and has worked alongside me to support me throughout my course so far.

My employer is very helpful and supportive. She often given me advice and provides me with opportunities to learn and develop in different areas. I am encouraged to progress and learn new skills helping me to progress as I complete my apprenticeship programme.

My assessor has always been very supportive. She has been encouraging and motivating me throughout my course to develop new skills and work towards the type of leader I want to be.

This programme has helped me to develop my awareness and knowledge in different areas and topics. It has allowed me to implement changes and promote better practice and feel more confident in my role.

We try to organise monthly social activities as a team to enable us to get to know one another outside of work. This has really helped us to build our relationships as a team and build on our team working skills.
