1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

My role involves caring for children ages 2-5 years. On a day to day basis I will care for each child’s needs including hygiene routine like nappy changes. I will observe my key children each week and make sure they are progressing.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Since starting my apprenticeship I have gained so much knowledge. I am able to understand children who require more support and how I would support that child.

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

So much support from her. Honestly I could not have asked for a better tutor, she will talk her time explaining what I need to do and is always available if I’m struggling. She understands if I am struggling and she will put support in place and help me to over come it.

100% this course as opened my eyes to childcare. I enjoy learning new skills and I have definitely stepped out of my comfort zone.

9a. Would you recommend Paragon Skills to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

If you are looking to expand your knowledge or to learn new skills. This company is definitely the choice. With a tutor like mine I have never felt so at ease when learning. I would definitely recommend paragon.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Paragon Skills?

Just go for it. I was really questioning doing an apprenticeship I felt as if I was too old to learn anymore. I had to push myself to step out of my comfort zone and I don’t regret a minute of this experience.
