Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My role is an apprentice for level 3 nursery teacher. I work 4 days a week in the Cumberland Road Nursery, in the baby room and I go to LEYF academy one day every week for studying. My job is about making an enabling environment for children to grow and develop.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really enjoyed learning while using what I was learning on my day to day work at the nursery. I am actually planning to continue with my learning while working to get a level 6 qualification with London Early Years Foundation.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
My communication and language is progressed as English is not my first language. I learnt a lot about health and safety, safeguarding, child development, supporting children's needs, development theories and first aids. I am so confident and knowledgeable in caring and working with birth to five years old children.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
According to my experience and humble knowledge, I think it is amazing.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My employer has been very supportive all throughout my studying times.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
My training provider has been very supportive all throughout my studying times.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
My qualification in childcare can greatly benefit me to be a confident nursery teacher and help me perform better in my role. It provides me with the knowledge and skills necessary to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for children to learn and grow. It also helps me to understand child development, learning theories, and best practices for teaching and managing behavior.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
As I recall, London Early Years Foundation has a yearly conference that gather all the 40+ nurseries in one place to share experiences and inspirations.
