• To respect the confidentiality of information received regarding children, their families and other staff members.
• To develop your role within the team especially with regard as a key person; observations of children, meeting and greeting children etc.
• To ensure the setting up of a high-quality environment to meet the needs of individual children from differing cultures and religious backgrounds, and stages of development.
