Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
This apprenticeship has helped me develop skills and knowledge about childcare. I am in the rooms doing hands on experience and then get a designated 6 hours out of the class room where I can do my studies.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
It is a very tiring but very rewarding program. Highly recommend if you are passionate about childcare
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have learnt numerous skills on how to help children settle into a new environment, develop healthy attachments, they way they think and the reasons for their behaviour.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
I always get my designated time out but sometimes the times are changed due to them needing me in ratio.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
My manager and deputy are kept up to date with my progress throughout my apprenticeship
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I receive great support from my learning coach who I can contact through my learning portal or through email. If I don't understand something in my course work, she will set up a meeting to discuss it in depth.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I have learnt how to provide the best care for children aged 0-5
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
No, not really. We do run settling in sessions and have open days for new parents which we help with.
