Nursery Practitioner Review

My role as a nursery practitioner is to meet the needs of each individual child, helping them with their development whilst also working with parent/carers to encourage this. Working with other professionals such as safeguarding leads, knowing to look out for any signs of abuse, neglect or harm.

I have learnt lots of new skills within my apprenticeship such as confidently taking part in workshops interacting with other apprentices with confidence. I have learnt skills such as multitasking within the nursery, meeting every child’s needs.

I enjoy it as it helps me develop my knowledge within childcare when working at my setting. I enjoy the workshops with other apprentices and enjoy speaking with my tutor at the end of each month to see what I’ve achieved.

Very organised when booking workshops and calls. The tutors interact with you daily if you do have any issues you can contact them whenever. It’s structured meeting our needs as learners and gives you monthly work to complete with deadlines.

I receive lots of support by my tutor who contacts me regularly. We have monthly calls where we talk about my work and achievements. If we have any issues our tutor understands and supports us by extending deadlines or guiding us through our work.

Lots of support, the Bud account we use tracks our learners development. In which my provider can see where we are at, if we are behind then our tutor will support us if there’s any reason of being behind. And will praise when we are up to date and doing well.

It helps me perform better in my setting as I have learn’t more about my role as a practitioner and what needs are to be met with the children. It helps me day to day know about the EYFS and what ofsted would like to see from us practitioners.

We have calls with our tutors to talk with them, helps us see what we need to improve on. The 2 hour workshops I do with my tutors is very good after work which helps us move forward within our apprenticeship completing the work and interacting with others

Yes

It’s such a lovely environment to work in. All of my work colleagues at my setting are super and made me feel really welcome when I first started with them. I have learn’t a lot working there that’s also helped me progress within my apprenticeship and I know if I have any problems then I could go to my managers who are so supportive, they really do care about their employees. Always praising and rewarding us.

My advice would be to do the apprenticeship they offer and if they ever have any troubles all of the managers are so kind they will support you with your needs or worries.
