Is Theodora Nkemelu-Ashby a real person

No. She is invented for this page, and so are Willowgate Day Nursery and Bramcote Meadow Nursery. The figures show a shape and describe no real child or setting.

What does a nursery manager check first

Qualification level and whether the certificates are in date. Paediatric first aid, safeguarding and food hygiene with years beside them answer that before the experience is read.

How should key children be described

As a group size with what you did for them. A key group of eight, 200 observations a term and 48 progress summaries a year describes the work and names nobody.

What did the checker score it

97 out of 100, with one improvement remaining worth 8 points. The document has 203 readable words, and the volume rule's top band opens at 250.

Which design is this rendered in

Vellum, one of the 21 ATS-safe layouts out of 37. It is warm without a sidebar, which suits a page that will often be printed and read on a desk.

— room size, key group, certificates in date.

The early years practitioner example résumé drawn as a complete page in the Vellum design: name, summary, the roles with their bullet lines, education and a skills row — The example below, drawn by the builder's own renderer in the Vellum design. The picture was taken by pressing this page's own Use this example door and photographing what the editor rendered.

Early years work is highly regulated, closely recorded and almost always described on a page in the vaguest possible terms. This example is written out in full so you can read a specific version, then put through the tools here so you can see what a parser stores. The candidate is invented. Theodora Nkemelu-Ashby does not exist, neither nursery exists, and every figure was chosen to demonstrate a shape.

Certificates first, then the room

Paediatric first aid, safeguarding at level 3 and food hygiene, each with a year. A nursery manager checks those before anything else, because a setting cannot put an uncertificated practitioner on ratio tomorrow morning.

Then the room: 24 children and five staff, with a key group of eight. Ratio, room age band and key group size tell a manager exactly where this person fits in their own building.

Observations, summaries, settling

Two hundred observations a term. Forty-eight progress summaries a year written for families. Thirty children settled with a two-week plan agreed with each family. Those describe the recorded work, the family-facing work and the hardest part of the job, and none of them names a child.

Mentoring four apprentices through level 2 and level 3 is the seniority line. In a sector with constant turnover, a practitioner who brings people through their qualifications is worth keeping.

What the reading found

The door below hands the document to the résumé builder as plain text, through the same import an uploaded file goes through, and the review shows each field beside the line it came from. Here the completeness pass found four readable sections, 105 words of experience evidence and ten distinct skills, with all three certificates kept with their years.

The Conxfolio import review after the door opened, showing Theodora Nkemelu-Ashby's example read into fields beside the rendered page, with the line saying it is an example — The real import review, opened by this page's own door. It names Theodora Nkemelu-Ashby as invented before anything is saved, and it shows every field beside the line it came from.

No language model is involved. Every string a reader emits is checked in code to be a span of the document, and where the rules are unsure they ask rather than filing a certificate under the wrong heading.

What the checker scored it

The same import review on a 390 pixel phone screen, with the example notice above the accept button — The same door on a phone. Nothing is withheld on the small screen: the notice, the reading and the accept button are all there.

Ninety-seven out of 100, with one improvement remaining worth 8 points. The arithmetic is 100 × 30% + 100 × 30% + 92 × 40% = 97, explained in the article on the score. Seven action-led lines, two of them measurable, seven lines of depth, and 203 readable words against a band opening at 250.

Children, staff and apprentices are units the evidence rule reads; observations and summaries are not, so two of the strongest lines on this page register as achievements without measurable evidence. The ATS checker prints the list it counted, which is the only way to see that on your own document.

What this example leaves off

No children's names, no photographs from a setting and no details of any safeguarding concern. A nursery manager reads the absence of those as the first evidence that this practitioner understands the job.

Long lists of short courses are left off too. Three certificates in date, a level 3 qualification and the room evidence carry the page, and a column of half-day training titles pushes all three further down.

What to change for your own

Change the age band and the setting. Baby room, preschool, childminding, out of school clubs and nursery classes in schools all use this shape with different frameworks. Then put in your own room sizes, key group, observation volume and settling work.

Keep every certificate in date and dated on the page. The guide on certifications covers placement, the design gallery holds 37 layouts, and the teaching assistant example, the personal trainer example and the barista example sit beside this one.
