Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I have started as an apprentice at ourden @ hillside, lower early day nursery( complete childcare). I have just started the role, its been like only 16 days. I work with the children range from 9 months to 3 years.
Its all about settling down the children into the nursery by warm welcome and be enthusiastic, and building trust with the children so they are comfortable and happy. We build their daily routines and help them to understand the world, numeracy , tidying up, etc ..... lots more (still learning what comes under my basket to help the children grow with my support).
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I am enjoying it a lot and have become confident and settled down well. Loving the children around me.
