My job at the nursery is an FS1 Class Teacher to 18 children. My role is to create lesson plans according to each individual child’s needs following the EYFS, making every day a fun way for children to learn through play. I have developed strong relationships with students, parents, and colleagues by maintaining open lines of communication and fostering a supportive learning environment. I assess children’s learning and development by making observations and reports, planning activities to help support children in their learning areas. I attend regular staff meetings to learn more and to participate in giving ideas to ensure our children have the best chances and abilities to strive. I would have regular meetings with parents to discuss their child’s progress and work together to ensure the correct support and help is provided for their child/ren. I ensure the environment is a safe place for play and children are happy and confident to be in class.

My duties were to set up activities before every session would start, based on the EYFS, observe children through their play, and create next steps for the children. I would complete transition forms, baselining and a learning journal of the children’s wow moments, and pictures of their play.
