very organised, i work 8:30 to 5:30 every day but every other week i get a college day on a monday which is great for me to get more college week done. also get a review often

a lot, if i need a college day and catch up lesson they will let me have time off. if i have an issue they help me with it and i feel comfortable to go up to them about stuff

they give us lessons every other week and my assessor comes for reviews often and observations and i have their emails and phone numbers if i need to contact them

very well, the lessons give me lots of information to help me in the nursery.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
