Tate Kelly

In this job role i have developed a good understanding of the EYFS and how to apply this when looking after children. I continuously safeguard children and ensure their basic needs and learning needs are met. This role has given me the opportunity to grow my creativity, meaning I am able to provide engaging and educational learning activities. My ability to connect with carers and maintain healthy parent partnership has grown and I am able to converse professionally with parents and carers of all types, regardless of the information.

Within this role I learnt how to safely handle, cook, and store food following the national guidelines. I have become familiar with tailoring to customers needs and wants, and learn how to deescalate situations that may arise. My team work was greatly impacted by this role, as I learnt how to work alongside others, and use both my strengths and weaknesses to my advantage.

I learnt within this job how to asses a list of tasks and figure out which are priority. I have learnt to handle money and card transactions accurately, and also given advice to various customers on pricing, deals, locations etc. In this role I learnt how to be a welcoming face, and in turn grew my social confidence. I was able to properly stick to all health and safety measures by lifting safely, handling food safely, and removing any foods that are possible danger.
