TMA02 My professional practice: Where am I now?
My setting
The setting in which I work is based in a large church hall. We currently hold 55 children in one session and cater for children from 2 to 5yr olds. Special needs children are registered with 2% of pupils which hold a statement of Special Educational Needs (SEN) and 37% of pupils qualify for pupil premium. We are 13 members off staff which includes my manager and my deputy and then it is my setting leader and me as a supervisor which then follows onto the other 9 nursery nurses.
My Role
I am employed as a Supervisor at the setting and I am also a key worker who is responsible for 10 children. As a supervisor I am responsible for setting up and preparing for the staff, as well as other general classroom responsibilities. I have the duty to allocate staff were needed and also monitoring them as well as children making sure everything is running smoothly. I also assist the staff in planning activities and lessons. As a key worker it becomes my duty to observe and collect evidence as well as to assess these children. As I am based in the early years the curriculum I follow is the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), DFE 2012.
