Interview In Local Nursery


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hi this is the first time I have posted anything on here...so here goes..

 

Would love to be very prepared for a possible interview as Nursey Nurse in my local Nursery school. It has been 8 years since my last interview!!! So I am a bit rusty..

 

Could anyone PLEASE help me with some questions I may be asked by the Headteacher and personnel governors of the school if I was lucky enough to get to the interview stage.

 

Has anyone out there been in this situation recently..with EYFS included etc?? I would be very grateful for your help.

 

Thanks to you all for a fantastic friendly site..you have given me such inspiration.

Hi Lucy,

Well you're in for an exciting time, hopefully!

I think the following issues are likely to come up;

* continuous provision, adult-directed and child-initiated play

*observing children (why, when, how)

*partnerships with parents and outside agencies

*current agendas ; of course, the new EYFS themes, commitments etc, ECM, Every Child a Talker, etc.

* behaviour management and inclusion

 

To prepare, I would trawl through this site :o and then visit others, eg National Strategies, Ofsted, CWDC, Teachernet, so you are really up to date with all the new publications that have hit early years this year!

 

I wish you lots of luck; let us know how it goes xD

3years ago on my interview I was asked which area in your opinion is the most important and why.

I said PSE and then why I thought this.

I was asked about the schools mission statement ( for faith schools).

Why I wanted to work at this school?

What can you bring to this school.?

I would also mention about keyworkers.

The ones I really hate tell us about yourself :o

""" your strenghts

"" your weakness.

Good luck

Debs
