Day-to-day operating brief

What Creche Assistant (Gym/Library) work looks like in practice

A Crèche Assistant supervises children for short booked sessions while parents use an onsite or nearby service. The role differs from full-day nursery care because sign-in, parent availability, session limits and rapid handover are central. Terms should identify venue, age range, ratios, booking and late collection, nappies and personal care, snacks, allergies, activities, parent location, authorised collection, safeguarding, room security, cleaning, incidents and the boundary for children who become unwell.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

Sign children in and verify collection details.
Supervise age-appropriate play and care.
Maintain room security hygiene and resources.
Apply ratios allergy and safeguard procedures.
Record attendance incidents and parent handover.
