Apprentice Early Years Educator Level 3

Support children’s learning, development, and well-being. Plan and deliver fun, educational activities. Observe, record, and monitor children’s progress. Ensure a safe, nurturing environment. Work with colleagues and families to support children’s needs. Complete tasks and training to achieve a Level 3 qualification.

Training:

You will spend two days per month training at college, while the rest of your time will be on-the-job, gaining practical experience. You’ll be fully supported by a work mentor and assessor to help you learn, develop, and achieve your Level 3 qualification.

Training Outcome:

After completing a Level 3 Early Years Educator Apprenticeship, you typically start as a qualified practitioner in nurseries, preschools, or early years settings, working directly with children aged 0–5 and supporting learning and development. With experience, you can progress to roles with more responsibility, such as Room Leader, Senior Practitioner, or Key Person, overseeing specific age groups and mentoring junior staff. From there, career paths often lead to Deputy Nursery Manager or Nursery Manager, managing staff, compliance, and operations, while further study, like a Level 5 Early Years Lead Practitioner apprenticeship or degree-level qualifications, can open opportunities in leadership, teaching, specialist support (e.g., SEND), or even training and consultancy within the early years sector.
