Rebecca Withers: PI: C335403X Supporting Learning in Primary Schools (TMA 1) I am currently working as a nursery nurse (practitioner) in a pre-school with children aged 3-4 years. I am going to describe this job role and how the role relates to the DfEE?s (Department for Employment and Education) four part framework. The four levels of support are: 1. For pupils 2. For the teacher 3. For the school 4. For the curriculum Nursery Nurse For Pupils: I currently work in a pre-school with children aged 4 years. I assist the children with basic hygiene including promoting the importance of hand hygiene and other simple tasks such as doing up their coat or putting on their shoes themselves.

Being a part of this team means that I work closely alongside these professionals manager to ensure the curriculum is being followed, any issues are discussed and addressed and new thoughts or ideas are shared. I previously worked as a nursery assistant in another local nursery with children aged 2-3 years whilst completing my NVQ training. This has therefore provided me with further insight, skills and knowledge that are useful in the working environment as it?s interesting to see the difference between how the different nurseries are run and the contrasting ways in which the staff practice in each setting and different methods they often use. For example where I am currently working if a child hits another child then they are placed on time out. However where in the nursery where I previously worked if a child were to do this they would be placed on the thinking chair, allowing them to have a chance to assess why their behaviour was wrong. I also work alongside the child?s parents and we share any concerns that we may have or generally pass on information regarding the child?s day. ...read more.
