Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Providing the best care for the children, assist mealtimes. Supervising activities to ensure that they are safe (safeguarding) . Cleaning and tidying the room to reduce the risk of slipping over toys. Building a positive trustworthy relationship with parents and carers, as well as with the children.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

So far I am enjoying the programme though the way of professional discussions is new to me. It is sometimes difficult to get the work done due to staff ratios and not being able to get out of ratio to attend live webinar, though my mentor has supported me throughout.

Learnt to be independent and act on my own initiative. I have learnt company policies and procedures in practice. Working in a team and independently. I am learning to communicate with parents, providing feedback as well as how to use the famly app and paper work (accident forms) .
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
My mentor is great in communication and has set me work to complete, well organised and easy to access. Some of the activities I need a bit more guidance on as I'm unsure of what is expected of me.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
Fair support, though at times when short staffed things can become stressful in that environment and sometimes feel listened to. However, the support that I get from my colleagues is helping me build on my learning and progress in practice, picking up on their experiences.
