Nursery practitioners take a hands on role in providing a safe child care environment. All nursery assistants have full first aid training in case emergencies arise while on the job – we will provide this for you if you do not already have it. Nursery assistants also maintain a fun and educational environment for children under their care. They work closely with their manager and room leaders to develop engaging activities. If the nursery assistant also cares for children with disabilities, they adapt these programs as needed to help everyone feel included. Keep and update records to meet a child’s needs no matter who is on duty, nursery assistants keep detailed logs of each child in their care. Information in these logs may include a child’s nursery attendance, temperament, food allergies, nappy changes, and any special accommodations the child requires. As new children join their facility, they keep track of allergies or dietary concerns. Maintain a Sanitary Environment – After activities or mealtimes, nursery assistants are responsible for cleaning up messes and organising activities for the next session. They sanitise toys, kitchen tools, and other items before the children arrive, during sessions or after they leave.
