Anna, Year 13 in her Art lesson
Where did you have your Work Experience and can you explain a little bit about the company?
I was placed at Daffodil’s Day Nursery. I had to supervise children of the ages from 1 to 5 years old.
How was your first day?
I was nervous the first day, but staff made me feel welcome and if I had any problems, they were there to support me. Each day I grew more confident. My first and second days I was placed in the baby room, feeding, playing, and interacting with them.
What did you enjoy the most?
I enjoyed working with the toddlers as I felt it was easier to work with them and I found it more fulfilling interacting with them.
What did you least enjoy?
The baby room was noisy and chaotic and I had to change their nappies.
What have you learnt from WEX? Any new skills?
Overall, I learnt to be patient in a stressful environment.
What would you suggest to other WEX to other students?
I would suggest having an open mind and have a positive attitude.
Where would you like to see yourself in 5 years’ time?
Art is my passion so Art Therapy supporting children.
