Our working relationship: Combining knowledge to create exciting outdoor activities

Kirsty holds an early years degree and has worked for the Kids Planet group since 2016. Apprentice Rhys is a sports coach who is working towards his Level 3 qualification. Both Kirsty and Rhys work closely together to encourage children’s physical development through fun activities.

Kirsty Powell ‘As Rhys is showing, once you can get males involved in early years, they love it!’

What does your role involve?

‘My working day involves doing a bit of everything, usually beginning with switching on the twinkly lights and making sure everything is ready and looks welcoming before greeting our children into the nursery. There’s always plenty of planning to look at, and I like to make sure we plan as much as possible. By forward planning I can phase in time to spend with our apprentices, to support them in any areas they feel unsure about, or just check they are managing to keep on top of their written assignments.
