  • Supervise and engage with the children outside of activity times.
  • Ensure the provision of childcare is always of a high quality to meet the needs of individual children from differing backgrounds and stages of development.

  • Show high levels of energy, enthusiasm and professionalism, acting as a suitable role model for the children.
