I currently work in the baby room along side 2 other staff members. I help create a safe environment for the babies to explore and learn. Each day i provide healthy food for the babies using their routines that are provided by their parents. I help to wean babies when the parents request it and give parents advice on these areas. I set out activities so the babies can explore different media using all their senses and write observation and take pictures to help support their development. I carry out parents evening meets to discuss their child development and any concerns that they have but also make myself available at anytime for the parents to discuss things if they need to. I fill out day sheets that have all information with regards to food, nappies, sleep and what they have done. So the parents have an idea of what they have done during the day.

I helped to plan and set out equipment and activities each morning. Providing a safe, stimulating, educational and inclusive environment for all the children who access the preschool. I helped to provide a healthy snack each morning for the children, encouraging then to help prepare the fruit that they eat. I supported the children during free play and helped extend their knowledge and abilities through structured activities. I took notes on the development of my key children and wrote observation using an online system called tapestry. I liased with outside agencies regarding support for children.

I was the supervisor of the Baby room. In charge of 5 staff and 15 babies each day. I helped the staff with their training, encouraging them to plan and carry out activities with the babies, to help develop their knowledge for different areas of their courses. I oversaw the running of the room, making sure that all paperwork was up to date and correct. Carrying out supervision for each member of staff. Also making sure that the room and equipment was cleaned and sterilised daily. I helped the manager to organise staff deployment, and to help other branches when sickness required them to need cover.
