Do you know in schools in EYFS (nursery and reception) if they teach phonics and numeracy? Or does phonics and numeracy start in Year 1?

Is it easy to be EYFS teaching assistant? Do teaching assistants teach phonics in reception? Or is that the teacher's job?

Do you think I should do a Level 2 TA course to become an EYFS teaching assistant? Or should I just skip the course and start working? Not sure if they will fire me without the course, lol...As English is not my first language, I find it difficult to grasp phonics. I did start learning English at the age of 5, now I am 32.

What qualifications do you have at the moment? And do you have any experience of working with young children?
You don't necessarily need L2 TA course to work as one.
You won't be expected to plan and teach phonics as such, but depending on how the school operates and what phonics scheme they follow, you might be allocated a group to work with daily or even support with interventions.

Are schools aware you have a degree when they ask for a level 2 qualification?

You are more than qualified - you could even teach after a PGCE. Perhaps get more familiar with the EYFS curriculum I posted above?

When I said schools ask for Level 2 qualification, I meant in the job ads I saw online.

Answering you other question - intervention - this is additional support when a child has difficulties in their learning. Two I'm aware of are 'Every Child Counts' and 'Reading recovery' ...

level 2 is GCSE - you have a degree - you can apply. However I would find out more about what EYFS is all about.
