I have worked with children aged 2-5, helping them settle into routine, providing activities and play opportunities for them to engage in that were age and stage appropriate as well as going on outings to the local playpark, supermarket and library.

I have developed good relationships with the children and staff, working collaboratively preparing reports on each child's development through the use of observations to track developmental milestones and progress within the setting and always make sure the children are happy and provided the care needed to help them develop, while helping build strong rapport with parents during pick-up and drop-off times encouraging open communication about child's progress.
