Hi Babe ive just started my A1 too i have been in childcare 10 years and have just completed my level 4 about 6mths ago, I am an in house trainee assessor and so far have had a quick induction and have gone through the knowledge evidence with my assessor and im about halfway through that, i feel the same as you and want to do the best I can for my students, if we can exchange ideas etc when im a bit further on i would be happy to do so, good luck with your A1 you sound like you will be a brilliant assessor and one that cares.

Hiya, and welcome! Thank you for your lovely comment - I certainly aspire to be a great asessor! The way things are at the moment, I think the world needs good child care practitioners to safeguard our little ones when we are not able to, like when they are at school etc! That would be brill to share ideas and advice, its always good to get another persons view on things isn't it - and just to moan too!!!!! Hopefully going to complete my A1 on the 9th April - thats when my IV things I will be done for anyway - can't wait, no more folders to be counter signed!!!!!! YIPPEE!!!!!
Anyway, chat soon xx

I am new to the NVQ and love this silkysteps website.

It's nice to see the assessors giving and asking for advice. I think we forget that we are all human and we are always still learning, even from our young children.

Shame I can't get the same view of Ofsted inspectors, I think they are usually 5 headed dragons :sorry:

Anyway I just wanted to say hello, and thanks for being here x x x

hello Babe,

hope your A1 is going to plan, it does all fall into place I put all my copies of everything into my portfolio as I wasnt sure which evidence was going to be the best my poor co signer had the job of sorting it out for me.

I didnt need as much as i thought.
