As Room leader my role was to ensure that the running of the room was smooth and that my team were interacting and engaging the children in the activities planned to help them get ready for school. I set up a free flow environment were the children could gain confidence in their ability and independence. I encouraged outdoor play every day and helped run the football and summer sport group. Using pictures and examples of the children’s work to get an understanding of every child’s ability and where they are in the EYFS program was something I did on a day to day bases. I encouraged the parents to take their folder home, especially the parents who didn’t get to interact with us because of work commitments. I worked hard at developing relationships with the parents as I know that having a good relationship means that the child will receive the best care for them as you have a good understanding of their background and areas they need support in. While at Toad Hall I went on a Supporting Behaviour and development course and a SENCO meeting with the speech therapist. I was also in charge of encouraging the cook and grow project for all ages.

My Qualifications

Education
Alton College 2010 - 2012
BTEC National Diploma in Childcare Learning and Development – 3 Distinctions
BTEC Award in Paediatric First Aid Basic 0-8years – PASSED

Over this two year course I worked with children from 0 to 8 years old, I gained my experience by working in a range of different child care environments. While I was at each placement I would implement activities which related to the six areas of development, personal social and emotional, communication, language and literacy, problem solving, reasoning and numeracy, knowledge and understanding of the world, physical and creative. I had to change and adapt activities to ensure that they were age and stage appropriate for the children and babies I worked with. Being in a setting and working with different people I was able to understand the requirements needed and to gain a better understanding of the importance of safeguarding children, protecting and caring for them. While being at each setting I was assessed on my attitude, attendance, interaction with the children and the suitability of the activities I planned.
