Learn moreI have settled into my setting really well and I have gotten along with all the staff members there. I have learnt how to use ‘Blossom’ to update the parents and add pictures of things the children are doing. I have enjoyed feeding the children and getting to know them so that they can be used to me and get along with me well.
