diesel10 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Hi Can you lovely people save me loads of time and give me a list of interview questions for an early years practitioner. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Is this for someone with experience and relevant qualifications, or for someone with limited experience? Have you got a job spec we could see? I think the questions would differ greatly, so let us know and we'll compile a list on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel10 Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 Hi I haven't asked for any qualifications but most applicates have experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 OK then, I'll start us off! * What does the EYFS mean to you? * How do you (personally) start to build relationships with children? * What do effective interactions between staff and children look like? *Why is it important to work with families to support the children's learning? What suggestions do you have to work towards a successful relationship with parents? * How do you go about observing and assessing children? * Can you tell me about an activity with a group of children that you think went well? What did the children learn from it? * How do you celebrate diversity in your current setting? * What are the most successful behaviour management techniques? I'm sure others will add their favourites! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyMaz Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I'd also ask what the candidate thinks their biggest strength and biggest weakness are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 (edited) what drew you in to childcare? what motivates you? what are your passions? Edited November 26, 2010 by gingerbreadman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Questions MUST be linked to job spec! Scenarios are good - I got asked what I would do if a boy put on a dress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
