Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

4/5

My role is to create a secure environment for the children while supporting their learning and development needs.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

I thoroughly enjoy my course as it extends on the knowledge i already have on childcare. It has given me a deeper understanding about what i already do and has made me much more confident in my role. I have a greater understanding about why certain procedures are in place and how it benefits the practitioners as well as the children. I have found myself sharing information i have learned from the course while working so that we can do tasks to our best ability. It has also shown me how we can improve as a setting as well as highlighted the great things we are already doing in the setting.
my tutors have also been great support all the way through and have always found a way to stay positive and encouraging. The support and learning is amazing, they give great real life examples on each topic which makes the information more digestible helping me to apply it to my work. The information given on the slides is always in good detail and the teachers are always happy to explain what we do not understand. They also are willing to send any extra information through that we need and have great knowledge on other places we can find useful accurate information.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

4/5

I have learnt how to risk assess my setting in greater detail and developed my planning skills as i now look at how it also supports children who present consistent schemas.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

5/5

The programme is very organised every week, the teachers are prepared and add a lot of extra information to what we see on the slides. We are given a good amount of time to learn and study which i find is a great balance for studying, working and home life. Its has been set out to make my course achieve able while enjoyable. The teachers paly games to help us remember vital information which helps to keep information fresh in our minds.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

The support is outstanding, i have received help in every situation. It has kept me motivated throughout the course.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

5/5

100% as they always goes above and beyond and responds to messages and requests for help in a timely manner. She's always happy to help and no question is to big.

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

5/5

It's had a huge impact on my role as it's made me reflect on my practice highlighting area that i could strengthen. It has also made me a stronger team player and shown me the true benefits of what we are doing for the children.
