00:00:06,026 --> 00:00:09,772
My name is Tayla Baker and I work
in Cwtch Childcare in Pentrebane
2
00:00:09,772 --> 00:00:11,257
and I've been here for six months.
3
00:00:15,881 --> 00:00:20,322
So what inspired me to get into childcare
was having two young children myself,
4
00:00:20,358 --> 00:00:24,534
and I thought if I'm going to be mum all
the time, why not use that as my career.
5
00:00:24,534 --> 00:00:27,879
It's what I know best and I
thought why not, just go for it,
6
00:00:27,879 --> 00:00:30,095
and I absolutely love it.
Best thing I ever done.
7
00:00:30,312 --> 00:00:32,204
So on a day-to-day basis,
8
00:00:32,204 --> 00:00:36,187
my job can include anything
from playing outside in the rain,
9
00:00:36,187 --> 00:00:40,706
any weather, setting up activities, use your
imagination with the children
10
00:00:40,902 --> 00:00:44,383
and just listening to their imagination and just
seeing what they come up with.
11
00:00:44,731 --> 00:00:50,481
Children are funny, they're happy, so coming
into that sort of environment, it's lovely.
12
00:00:55,723 --> 00:01:00,310
We look for staff who
are enthusiastic, creative,
13
00:01:00,506 --> 00:01:02,995
willing to take on board new ideas,
14
00:01:03,146 --> 00:01:07,236
to allowing the children
to explore through play
15
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,432
and provide them
a safe place to do so.
16
00:01:09,782 --> 00:01:12,442
We incorporate play into
the children's learning.
17
00:01:12,707 --> 00:01:14,812
We provide a secure base for them.
18
00:01:15,022 --> 00:01:17,247
We try and get them to think about
what they they're going to do.
19
00:01:17,247 --> 00:01:19,292
So building assault courses,
20
00:01:19,304 --> 00:01:21,750
it could be from playing in
the messy play kitchen,
21
00:01:21,812 --> 00:01:25,655
and they got to like use their imagination
to build whatever they want.
22
00:01:26,165 --> 00:01:30,484
When parents trust you with their children and they
thank you at the end of the session,
23
00:01:30,484 --> 00:01:32,308
or they come back and thank you,
24
00:01:32,308 --> 00:01:35,466
that's really rewarding and you
feel like you're doing a good job.
