Childcare Apprenticeship (level 3) - Newport Pagnell - Milton Kenyes

At Childbase Partnership we have been delivering childcare excellence since 1989. Our mission is to give children the best possible start in life and instil a lifelong passion for learning. Across all 44-day nurseries, Head Office, and our EduBase Training Academy of Excellence, our dedicated colleagues work together to create a lasting, positive impact in our local communities. We are determined to be excellent and constantly strive for the best outcomes, not only for the children in our care but for every colleague too. What makes us special? • We are 100% employee-owned – which means we are all partners, we all have a meaningful voice, and we own our future (this includes sharing profits too, tax-free). • ‘Number 1’ - we have earned the top spot in the prestigious Nursery World league tables for our Ofsted outcomes, all thanks to our extraordinary colleagues. • Record-breaking Green Flag achievements, and climate-positive status - we save more CO2 than we create (take that, climate change!). • Planting in excess of 2,000 trees in the Eden Restoration project - because the planet needs a hug too. • Over £3.5 million raised for charity – we’re basically fundraising superheroes (without the capes).

You will work varied shifts, usually between Monday - Friday, 07:15 - 18:30 so you experience all aspects of the daily routine at nursery. 37 hours 30 minutes a week1 year 1 monthCommunication skills, Team working, Creative, Initiative, Non judgemental, Patience
