Support children in developing key early skills such as phonics, number sense, fine and gross motor skills, and positive social interactions.
-
Use regular observations and assessments to track progress, identify needs, and tailor learning experiences for individuals and groups.
-
Work closely with teaching assistants to ensure all children receive high-quality support.
-
Partner with parents through regular updates, workshops, and open-door communication, recognising them as key partners in their child’s learning journey.
-
Collaborate with colleagues across the school and with external agencies when needed to ensure every child has the right support.

Demonstrated experience in an EYFS setting with a strong grasp of the EYFS framework.

Ability to create engaging, imaginative lessons that balance academic and personal development.
