Notts CC: Under Eights Officer; December 1994 to March 1995
During October 1994 I successfully applied for the post of Under Eights Officer. This position followed directly after the position of temporary Assistant was completed. The Under Eights Officers reported directly to the Senior Under Eights Officer and were responsible for the provision of advice, registration, inspection and development of child minding and day care services in accordance with the Children Act 1989 for one or more districts. An Officer was also responsible for efficient and effective deployment of available resources and staff which normally includes an assistant and a Peripatetic Play Leader.

Notts CC: Assistant Under 8s Officer; 11 October 1993 to March 1994 and July 1994 to December 1994
The role included the provision of advice, registration, inspection and development of day care services in accordance with the Children Act 1989. This included advice on health, safety, hygiene, fire procedures, basic first aid and child development.
To undertake routine inspections/reviews of registered childminders and associated premises in accordance with defined frequencies and procedures.
To give information, about the requirements to register, to prospective childminders.
To produce service information and reports on visits as required and provide information and data necessary for the maintenance of effective recording systems.

Notts CC: Peripatetic Playleader; February 1989 to March 1995
The role included the development of new playgroups, acting as Playleader in the absence of trained staff, providing practical advice and guidance to staff and parents with regard to services available, training, play provision, materials and use of equipment. I enabled the staff to manage their own group, by offering advice on record keeping of the childrens' information, registration process, inventory of equipment and record of fire drills. I planned and organised group play sessions and the layout of the room taking into consideration the regulations that need to be adhered to under the Children Act 1989, this included staff ratio to children, hygiene and safety including play equipment and the premises.
I also attended crèches, childminding and parent and toddler groups and demonstrate good play practice to carers.
As a Peripatetic Playleader, I worked with children and families from different ethnic groups, cultures, religions and different social backgrounds. I ran the Deaf Society parent & toddler group and have worked on a one to one basis with a five year old Downs Syndrome little girl. I ran the crèche at the Women's Centre where women of all ages, races and sexualities, often suffering physical or mental violence, arrived in a state of trauma. I learned from these various situations to accommodate different view points and ways of doing things while still maintaining high standards.

Notts CC: Playgroup Assistant; February 1989 to October 1990
As a playgroup assistant at South Notts College playgroup I was in charge over the lunch time period when the two other trained staff went for lunch.
