Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I plan activities, care for the children within the setting and support their needs. I work at breakfast, after school club and the nursery looking after children aged 3 - 11 years old. I also am first aid trained and prepare the food for the children for snack times morning and afternoon.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I have enjoyed the work being online and being able to have access to my work through an online portal. This has helped with viewing feedback on my work and also being able to contact my tutor when I have needed. I have found the whole process really really good.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have improved my skills in lots of areas such as. Child development, safeguarding, confidentiality, planning activities, working in a team, whistleblowing, childhood illness, theories behind our practise. I have also developed my existing skills which has enabled me to be a better practitioner and provide more for the children.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Lots of structure and set deadlines for my work has helped me stay on track and even complete my diploma early. My tutor helped to keep me organised by emailing me if I hadn't submitted work on time and also offered any support if I needed it. This helped me to complete work on time.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I was given extra time to complete work inside work hours and they were very positive about me completing my diploma and me completing my work. All zoom calls have been within work hours and also allowing other members of staff to give witness testimonies frequently when requested by my tutor.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
Lots from my tutor who was always available at the end of the phone or by email.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
It allows me to put the theory I have learnt into practice and work in a higher role to the role I have currently. I now know more about the children and their overall development than I did before starting my apprenticeship. Also I can now achieve a higher role.
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
none
