– How I view my practice at the start of my current training –

This practitioner has not chosen to share this information at this time.

What I enjoy about working with young children

Witnessing their positive disposition to learn, their creativity and their trust of others.

How would I describe my role, in a nutshell

A support for children , staff and parents.

When and how MY PRACTICE is most child-centred

Block play and outdoors.

The ways and extent to which my setting's ENVIRONMENT, MATERIALS and PROCEDURES are child-centred

Loose parts, Block play, outdoors.

How children PARTICIPATE in shaping the environment, structures, rhythms and policies of my setting - or my own day-to-day role

Children take part in weekly Chit, chats. They share their views on how to spend the budget and rules that keep us safe.

How Froebel/Froebelian thinking informs or inspires my practice today (if at all)

Freedom with guidance, loose parts and outdoor play.
What children can do rather than what they can’t.

What support I most value or need to do my job well - in a Froebelian spirit

Staff support, parental engagement.
