Joanne Fisher is a childcare assessor with Bertram Nursery Group in Manchester. She visits the apprentices in the group's nurseries, spending time with each learner going through their qualifications, conducting assessments, watching them progress and supporting them.
'I have a caseload of 40 to 45 learners. On a typical day, I meet with two to three apprentices, located in the north west. We have planned and detailed criteria set out to be covered on my visit through assessments of their knowledge or practice,' she says.
'We spend time going over the work they have submitted and they are given as much support as they require. A review is completed to assess the apprentice's progress and feedback to be given for the day's assessments. We liaise closely with employers and mentors of learners, to ensure roles and responsibilities are fully met and satisfaction with the programme is always priority.
