Barnwell Daycare August 2017 – April 2019 Childcare Assistant
I previously worked in a daycare for children aged from birth to 5 years. I was a level one childcare assistant. I worked variable hours during the week that ranges from 8-6. My typical day would include setting up activities for the day ahead using the planning. I would then greet the children as they enter the nursery making sure I do my best to comfort any upset children. I could be doing a range of tasks, it tends to vary each day. Sometimes I will do breakfast for the children or support breakfast, assisting them with their cereal and communicating with them about what they would like. I then do tasks such as morning snack and nappies, then before lunch time I support the children in singing songs and washing their hands ready for lunch. During lunch I sit with the children and make sure I am encouraging independence but at the same time helping them if they need me too. After dinner we will read a story and get sorted for the afternoon session. I also do observations on the children following the EYFS we aim to do four or more a day. I pride myself In being an excellent communicator to the children and I know how much the children like spending time with me. I am also always on hand to help my work colleagues out and always be a team player.
The Wessington Brewers F
ayre April 2014 – August 2017- Soft Play Assistant
I was working at a play area attached to a busy family pub in Sunderland. Last year we got a refurbishment and I was made ‘director of fun’. This role made me head team member of the rest of the play team which means I have to make sure the team are doing what’s expected of them at all times and making sure they are following the standards, keeping the team motivated, on track and ensuring a bond should they have any issues. The play area itself has a number of tables and a party room, this means that every day I am demonstrating a high level of customer service, this ranges from serving on tables to making sure they are 100% satisfied and happy with their service during their visit. A main role of mine was to sign the children into the play area and take any food or drinks orders customers may have. I also ran children’s parties which is a hands on task making sure that the child has an excellent time this includes interacting with the children asking them what they would like for their meal and dessert as well as creating a positive and fun atmosphere, I also personally made the desserts and prepared the children’s’ birthday cake which gives me experience in a kitchen environment as well as being under pressure to complete a task under a small time scale. At the end of the party I communicated with the children about their time at the party whilst giving them the party bags and balloons and asking if they have a good time, at this point I would previously dress up as Brewster Bear. Before my shift begins I would have carried out safety checks around the play area to make sure it is safe and set up for the day. I am a very good team player in my job and I would always be making sure me and everyone I work with is okay and if anyone needs any help.

Other roles included serving on the till, putting through food and drink orders and making hot and cold drinks such as lattes and hot chocolates. I really enjoyed this task as it gave me good experience on the till and how to use a machine. I also cleaned tables and did general tasks around the play area such as clearing plates, hovering down, and collecting rubbish and setting tables up. My role was communicating with customers making sure they have a good experience. I worked very well with my team and was always available to give them a helping hand and communicated well with them and my management team.

During my time in the reception class I would again assist the children in things such as carpet time making sure they were all listening and getting involved. I would also help the teaching assistant in putting up displays and cutting and sticking anything that needed to be done. The children would also do outside time most of the day where they would play games and I would join in and make sure they were having fun. Some of the time I would play indoor games such as farm animals or dress up.
