Job description
1.2 And 3.1 Explain expectations about own work role as expressed in relevant standards. Evaluate own knowledge, performance and understanding against relevant standards.
A day in the life at my setting.
Arriving at my setting each day I am required to sign in and note down the time. I put my bag in a safe and secure place so children cannot access.
I check the message board and liaise with other staff members for any important updates.
We have a child with a food intolerance so I informed the cook to make them aware the child was catered for at all meals during the day.
My 1st hour was spent upstairs with the toddlers aged between 2 and 3 years.
I then checked the planner to see what activities we had for that day. Today I set up the drawing table ensuring there was enough paper, crayons and chairs available for all the children present.
I sat with the children whilst they joined in with the activity. Talking to the children about what they were doing and describing all the different colours, sizes, shapes etc. This was promoting their speech and language development and using creative skills too.
Whilst supervising this activity I decided to complete a short observation on one of the children as she began to count and sing.
I was interacting with all of the children trying to maintain interest.
After a short while it was then time to tidy away all the equipment from the actives in which we encourage the children to help too.
Once the room was tidy we decided to take the children outside in to the garden. Most of our toddlers are able to collect and put on their coats which we also encourage to do but some children are unable to achieve this at the moment.
I helped to escort the children safely down the stairs ensuring they hold on to the rail and do a head
