Name: Amelia Leighton
Age: 22
Role: Head of the baby room at Little Blossoms Nursery, Worcestershire
Qualifications: BTEC National Diploma in Health Studies and NVQ 3 Child Care, Learning and Development My role involves working from 8am to 6pm, five days a week. While I am part of a large team covering the whole nursery, I manage a team of three in the baby room. All of us there are key workers, with small groups of children
Each week I attend a head of department meeting, where I discuss transitions and new arrivals and outline any concerns. I am also responsible for overseeing planning in line with the EYFS for the babies and my main job, I feel, is to provide a fun, safe, secure and stimulating environment for babies to learn and develop in.
