Teacher essay summary
A good piece of work, which usefully examines the various hazards observed in a nursery setting. Appropriate examples of the problem and the potential issues they may cause were highlighted. I was pleased to see attempts to bring in relevant legislation. Having said that, the Acts must be referenced correctly ie. the title and year. Additionally, it would have been helpful to have some context to the observation - ie. was this a record of a one-off, one day, observation? Or is this a record of what was seen over several weeks? What were the ages of the children and what were the staffing numbers? Nevertheless, the writer has obvious knowledge of hazards in a nursery setting and how these may be overcome.
