Role:
My role will be to provide a high standard of physical, emotional, social and intellectual care for children place in the setting. It will also be important to give support to their staff within the setting. Plus to work as part of a team with them in order to provide the best possible environment in which all individual children can play, develop and learn. Overtime I will have to build important relationships and maintain strong communicable contact with parents to enable children’s needs to be met.

I must be integrated and
