I am a nursery assistant, meaning I have responsibility in caring for children between the ages of 0-3, ensuring their safety and health and well-being. As a practitioner, I must be active in helping the children to learn and develop in a safe environment, which I have learnt to do through Realise Training.

They are organised and efficient in making sure my training is kept on track and that I have completed everything required for my Level 2 qualification.
