Nanny in Wakefield
My Summary
About Me
My name is Savannah and I am a level 3 qualified nursery practitioner. I am deeply passionate about working with children as I have over 5 years of experience based in a preschool room where I have cared for children aged 3-4 and progressed to the room leader title. During this time, I have gained effective communication skills, timekeeping, leadership skills, as well as an in-depth understanding of the EYFS curriculum and OFSTED requirements. Extending the children’s learning is one of my focus areas as an early years practitioner, as well as being able to identify gaps in children’s learning and act quickly to support these gaps. I have worked with numerous SEND children and completed speech referrals, as well as supported the SENIT team in their observations of the SEND children. I have good knowledge in safeguarding and prevent duty and have previously done Designated Safeguarding Lead training.
Whilst attending college back in 2019, I was one of 8 students selected to go on a trip to Sweden to attend work placement in a nursery over there for 2 weeks. Whilst over there, I got to see a completely unique perspective of teaching and how different English nurseries are compared to Swedish nurseries. This also broadens my knowledge of forest schools and how the outdoors can benefit children in many different ways.
Following on from this, I have a passion for outdoor learning as this was a huge factor in my childhood, and I enjoy reflecting this through my work. I am currently an Outdoor Learning Ambassador in my current role and am going through the Hygge in the Early Years: Rewilding our Wanderlust training. I have completed lots of training during my working time, including Autism training and communication and language training.
My Experience
I have been employed at Future Einsteins Day Nursery from January 2021 where I quickly got promoted to the preschool assistant room leader in November 2021. I then progressed up to room leader in November 2025.
My role in the preschool room includes monitoring all my key children’s progress, where sometimes I have had up to 13 key children at one time. This includes observations on the children daily for parents to see on a learning app, completing trackers monthly to keep up to date on any gaps in children’s learning and setting children targets to work towards filling these gaps. I have great leadership skills as I have to run the room I am based in, ensuring the day runs well and routines are followed. I also have to monitor staff to ensure they are doing what is expected within the room. We have termly supervisions which I have done with staff to reflect on their practice and ensure staff are striving to be the best practitioners they can be, as well as having my own supervisions with management and asking what I can do next to improve as I’m always aiming to be even better at what I do, meaning I’m always open to constructive criticism.
The children’s safety is always something I am aware of and I work hard to ensure they are always kept safe by completing daily risk assessments of the room, toilets and gardens. I have effective communication with parents and do this by having daily handovers with them around their child’s day and ensuring parents they always feel comfortable with me as I always have a smile on my face. I have also had lots of opportunities to speak to parents by hosting parent workshops/stay and plays, and an art exhibition for the parents to come and see their children’s work. I have also had experience in doing termly parents evenings to update parents on their children’s progress and working together with the parents to identify gaps in their development and how to fill these gaps.
