Ever thought about a
career in management?
By: Saima Yasin
Working in a nursery as an early years practitioner opens many doors of
opportunity. Being in a childcare role gives you the chance to support children
as they learn, develop and prepare for school.
Some qualified practitioners may want to pursue new challenges and further their
career into a supervisory role. They may feel they have enough experience to mentor
newly qualified practitioners and teaching assistants. For this reason, some may
already be volunteering to mentor new staff in their setting or supervising the
running of a room in their nursery (room leader). This kind of experience lays the
stepping stones for practitioners working towards becoming a deputy manager or
coordinator in their field of specialism.
To be successful, practitioners need to build on their
knowledge whilst gaining practical experience.
Level 4 Managing an Early Years Setting is all about
supporting qualified practitioners to learn new skills
and gain knowledge, allowing them to move forward
with confidence.
This summer at our EYES office we will be holding
Level 4 taster sessions to give you an insight into the
qualification and how it can help you to achieve your goals and
support you in moving forward in your career.
