TMA01-Myself, My settings, Roles and Responsibilities.
Part 1, (1,248 words)
My setting
I work in a nursery based in a primary school. My setting is in an inner-city area which has very high levels of social and economic disadvantage (OFSTED, 2009).81% of the children speak English as an additional language and are from a Pakistani heritage following the Muslim faith (OFSTED, 2009). The majority of pupils start school with very little or no English and are weak in home language development (OFSTED, 2009).

It involved me to train members of staff and provide classes for parents. Both of these responsibilities helped me when I joined my current setting in 2007, where I work alongside a team in Nursery (see Appendix B) I am now able to use my experiences, skills and knowledge in my current setting in both areas . My setting ensures that the children have the right knowledge to make the right choices linked with their...
