1Question

Tell me about a time you worked with challenging parents to support a child's development

When 4-year-old Emma struggled with social interaction, her parents were defensive about suggestions for support. I arranged a meeting where I showed video evidence of Emma's positive moments alongside areas for development. I explained how her home routine could reinforce our nursery strategies. Over 8 weeks, I provided weekly progress updates and invited parents to observe successful group activities. This collaborative approach led to Emma making significant social progress, with parents becoming our strongest advocates for the early intervention programme.
2Question

Describe a situation where you had to create a nurturing environment for a distressed child

When 3-year-old James started nursery mid-term, he cried for 2 hours daily during his first week. I created a comfort corner with his favourite book and a photo of his family. I established a morning routine where he helped me prepare art materials, giving him ownership and purpose. I also arranged for his older sister to visit during lunch breaks for the first fortnight. Within 3 weeks, James was settling within 10 minutes and had formed friendships with 4 classmates, transforming from distressed to confident.
