Early Years Specialist Apprenticeship

Our mission is to nurture and encourage each child to learn and progress within a supportive environment, with dedicated practitioners that work together to provide a joyful, stimulating safe world for our children to explore and be themselves. Our aim is to provide a range of fun and challenging indoor and outdoor activities to assist the children in their development in a warm and welcoming environment. We always strive to excel and adhere to best practice. While children are taught by all educators in a room, each child has a key carer who is the main person responsible for their personal development, well-being, and progress.

Apprentices are required to be flexible to meet the needs of the business, and punctuality is key. Working as part of a team and using ones own initiative are essential.
