My Summary

My Experience

I have gained several years of experience working with children in a variety of childcare and educational settings. I am currently completing my Level 3 Early Years apprenticeship and have practical experience supporting children’s learning, development, and wellbeing within a nursery environment.

Through my nursery experience, I have worked with babies, toddlers, and preschool-aged children, supporting their daily routines, personal care, communication, social development, and learning through play. I have experience being responsible for key children, completing observations, supporting individual development plans, and building positive relationships with children and their families. I understand the importance of creating a safe, welcoming, and stimulating environment where every child feels valued and supported.

I have also volunteered as an Islamic Studies teacher at Al Mahad Ul Islam for three years, where I supported children’s learning, behaviour, confidence, and personal development. I have experience planning activities, explaining concepts in an age-appropriate way, managing groups of children, and encouraging positive behaviour.

Alongside my general childcare experience, I have supported children with additional needs, including children who require extra help with communication, emotional regulation, and learning. This has developed my patience, understanding, and ability to adapt activities to suit each child’s individual needs.

I am passionate about working with children and enjoy creating fun, engaging experiences that help them learn, explore, and build confidence. My experience has helped me develop strong skills in safeguarding, communication, patience, responsibility, and providing children with the care and attention they need to thrive.
