It is also vital that I pass on any new knowledge that I gain on to the team, as this in turn provides them with the up to date information in order for them to carry out their roles and responsibilities effectively. This can be done during staff meetings, as well as on a day to day basis. This will lead to a better understanding of Ofsted requirements. Learning is a way of gaining new skills and it enables me to progress in my role as deputy manager, room leader and nursery teacher within the setting. Personal and professional development not only benefits me, but also the company and my colleagues. Continuous professional development is important for my career; I feel that it increases my employability. As deputy manager I am responsible for others including staff members, students and the children in the setting, as well as the families of the children who use our nursery.
