Initially my aim; was to complete a placement in a nursery setting as an employee. Part the reason for this, was because I wanted to experience a placement where I would be pushed out of my comfort zone. Giving me the responsibility and expectation to fulfil the role of a member of staff expected to know policy and procedures used within the setting. I fell that this type of placement would have offered me with more opportunities to reflect on my professional practice and apply changes in practise to be a better practitioner. With this I first decided to look up nurseries in my area emailing each nursery of my interest in having a university placement whilst as an employee. Whilst, I was successful obtaining work before I could begin my work I was informed they could no longer afford to keep me on.
As a result, I was left without a placement and a limited amount of time to organise one. With this is in mind, I knew that I would have to use a more proactive approach when organising the placement. Considering this I decided to email round the local schools and nurseries informing them of my situation and how I was interested in a university placement in their setting. As the children’s first week was nearly finishing and still no response I decided to ring the schools informing them of the email and urging on the importance of securing a placement as soon as possible. Within the conversations the receptionist recognised the importance of my placement being organised soon. So
I am currently studying a degree in Early Childhood Studies at Stranmillis College. This course has given me a strong foundation in how children learn, think and develop and the theory underpinning the multi-professional and multi-disciplinary of early year’s services. Previous to this I completed an HND in Working with Children and
As a qualified childcare practitioner with over 11 years' experience in Early Education and Childcare I have a wealth of experience and knowledge in working with children aged 0-5. Furthermore, being employed within a local primary school has given me opportunity to work with children ages 5-11 through frequent practical experiences. I have accrued many abilities and skills throughout my studies and career that would aid me in studying and work as a teacher; I am a nurturing person, which has allowed me to build strong relationships with children, parents and carers. Communication and team work are also skills that I have honed through my career. While I work competently as part of

Page, Clare and Nutbrown (2013) suggest that skills, knowledge, understanding, and capabilities are central to the quality of provision in early childcare settings. Research has established the connection between staff qualifications and the quality of the early years provision, alongside the differences in quality between maintained and private, voluntary and independent (PVI) settings (Robert-Holmes, 2012). It is understood that maintained nursery education was originally staffed by early years teachers, supported by nursery nurses with a level two qualification, and have since been replaced by graduates with qualified teacher status (QTS). Meanwhile, in the PVI sector, nursery nurses holding a level two qualification were considered
Educated up to Level 3 in Childcare, I am currently attending Hull University and undertaking my HLTA Learning Support Degree. This course has supported me to understand child development and learning. I have an up to date first aid certificate and currently administer it on a daily basis. I have good numeracy and literacy skills and have effective use of ICT to support children’s learning.
During these placements, I have expanded my knowledge and depth of understanding of children’s development and behaviour in my placements. At SPCA I did different activities which included making puzzles, colouring, and teaching numbers and letters. I learnt to be patient when helping a child with learning difficulties. I helped him to engage and communicate with other children. He often gave up playing with puzzles as he found that difficult and become frustrated but I encouraged him to continue with this and complete the puzzle. This helped him to feel empowered and in turn boost his self-confidence. In primary school I have shadowed different teachers, observed their teaching styles and ways they support the children to learn and understand things. Part of my role is to help the
I attended Ardtonish Primary School in St Agnes. I chose to do my work experience in occasional care and kindergarten. To organise the placement I contacted Ardtonish Primary to set an appointment. During the appointment, one of the employees did the legal documents then, the heights school did their legal part of the document. The employer that was supervising me worked in kindergarten and occasional care, her name was Heather. I went to this kindergarten because; it was convenient for me and, can help me in future pathway.
Since I only met with Jim and his wife the one time to complete an intake assessment, I was nervous about whether I could utilize Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). Before the session, I reflected upon SFBT precepts and the fact that SFBT is meant to be a brief therapy, which can encompass one session. Reviewing Kim (2014), I found four components which can be featured during a first interview: the miracle question, scaling questions, taking a break, and compliments (pg. 2). I intentionally imagined how I could implement SFBT into an intake assessment so that I could listen during my interview, instead of trying to remember what SFBT concepts to employ. By reviewing course information and thinking about how to apply SFBT in my practice, I hoped to minimize my own fears and concerns about SFBT and provide myself confidence for assisting my client in finding their own goal.

Sgobbi & Suleman (2015) contribute to our understanding of transferable skills stating that ‘transferable skills increase workers' employability’ and that they can also be applied to different social contexts (Bridges, 1993).
