Still unsure? We can organise a ‘Taster Session’ which will give you a hands on experience of what it is really like to work in early years and playwork settings. During the day you will be supported by a member of staff and will be able to see how practitioners help develop children’s social, creative, physical and imaginative skills. You will also observe the routines and duties of the various members of staff and be given:

·       A brief Health and safety induction.

·       A tour of your facilities

·       A copy of the curriculum plans for the day

·       An introduction to care routines
