00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,849
It's hard work, but it is
the most rewarding job.
2
00:00:02,849 --> 00:00:04,148
Hello, my name is Tracey
3
00:00:04,148 --> 00:00:07,042
and I'm the Nursery Manager
at the Hollies Daycare Nursery.
4
00:00:07,042 --> 00:00:10,296
I left university when I was 21.
5
00:00:10,296 --> 00:00:12,690
I came to Hollies for an interview.
6
00:00:12,690 --> 00:00:16,875
I was lucky enough to get
the role of Nursery Assistant.
7
00:00:16,940 --> 00:00:18,265
As the years went on,
8
00:00:18,265 --> 00:00:20,096
the company gave me the opportunity
9
00:00:20,096 --> 00:00:22,830
to do my Level 3 in early years and childcare.
10
00:00:22,830 --> 00:00:27,105
Then whilst I was a Senior Nursery Nurse,
I got promoted to Manager
11
00:00:27,105 --> 00:00:30,946
and I had the opportunity to complete
my Level 5 in early years and childcare.
12
00:00:30,946 --> 00:00:32,625
You need to be warm,
13
00:00:32,625 --> 00:00:35,303
you need to be passionate,
you need to be caring.
14
00:00:35,303 --> 00:00:38,329
You obviously need to
have a lot of patience.
15
00:00:38,329 --> 00:00:41,768
You need to be adaptable
because no day is the same
16
00:00:41,768 --> 00:00:42,862
when you work with children.
17
00:00:42,862 --> 00:00:45,594
I think the thing I love most
about working with children
18
00:00:45,594 --> 00:00:49,134
is watching them develop,
watching them grow.
19
00:00:49,277 --> 00:00:52,627
You get to see them become more confident,
20
00:00:52,739 --> 00:00:55,550
they become more independent.
21
00:00:55,696 --> 00:00:59,996
I love the fact that we're constantly
trying to change the way we work
22
00:00:59,996 --> 00:01:03,309
following new guidelines and new practices.
23
00:01:03,425 --> 00:01:05,789
I just love the fact that we work as a team.
24
00:01:05,789 --> 00:01:09,582
We're one big happy family here in Hollies.
