5/5
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.

5/5
Yes, I never knew how to change nappies, I learnt how to toilet train, my communication skills have improved massively and also my confidence has boosted.

5/5
Very organised. The work was set with plenty of time for me to complete, and if I needed more time my tutor would support me with that.

5/5
My employer gave me lots of support through the course, on a weekly basis we would have catch up sessions on my coursework and if I needed any other resources or time to complete my task.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

When working towards my qualification, I had loads of support from my tutor. No matter what time of the day she was always their to help me if I ever felt stressed and struggled on tasks. [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the Higherin Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] would fit in the time of the day and give me guidance in what I needed to do.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
My qualification has helped me perform better in my role. From the tasks I have been doing in the course has enabled me to put them to every day work in the nursery.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Team building exercises to make us a stronger group.
