My Summary

My Experience

I am qualified as an Early Years Practitioner at levels 2 & 3.

I began my Early Years journey as an apprentice and worked in a Montessori Nursery for 3 years with children of various ages. In my first year i worked with ages 2-3 where i was responsible for promoting and encouraging independence by helping with health and self-care skills such as potty training, hand washing and learning how to dress themselves.

I then spent two years working in the pre-school room with children aged 3/4. In this room i had a huge responsibility in preparing them for school by teaching them numbers, letters and how to recognise and write their own names.

Upon finishing my Early Years Educator level 3 apprenticeship, I began working in another nursery just outside of Bristol working with ages 18 months to 30 months. I quickly progressed from practitioner, to senior, to room leader. As room leader I was responsible for many things as a room leader including a register of 42 children and a team of 8 women. I knew each child personally and individually from their current development, their necessary next steps, their allergies and preferences to even the small things such as who’s coats are who’s, what shoes they wear and who sleeps with a dummy or a special teddy.

I now am part of a strong senior team as well as managing a baby room at a local nursery in east Bristol.

I have also worked in a reception class as well as volunteered in a local after school club carrying out activities with children aged between 4 and 11.

Working in a Montessori has made me realise the importance of independence for the child and i think it’s crucial for all areas of development that children are encouraged to play freely, make their own decisions and discover new, exciting things at their own pace.
