Early Years Apprenticeship (Level 3 or 5)

Your day will start with checking in with the Lead Practitioners to ensure you’re aware of what’s expected of you. You’ll engage in planned and spontaneous activities, both indoors and outdoors, and spend time supporting your key children and those needing additional help. You’ll also contribute to daily routines like mealtimes, transitions, cleaning, personal care, and nap times. You might find yourself playing in the sandpit, building castles, or exploring the garden as part of your role. Every day is different, fun, and sometimes challenging. Alongside playful learning, you’ll be expected to manage a variety of other tasks, such as:  Supporting health, safeguarding, and parental needs.  Completing observations, assessments, learning stories, and planning for your key children.  Participating in meetings with your mentor, supervisor, or assessor.  Attending training sessions and sometimes working at different settings for additional experience.  No two days will be the same, but each day will offer exciting and enriching experiences for both you and the children.  Training:This is a full-time work-place based apprenticeship. Instead of attending college, you'll be supported by an assessment company that will provide training, monitor your progress, and help you meet the requirements for your qualification. You’ll have monthly online and in-person meetings, while all other training will take place within the centre during your workday, in supervision sessions, or during designated study time. Some work may need to be done outside of working hours depending on your pace. If you need a space to work and access to a computer, you can stay at the centre to complete your tasks. You’ll have multiple layers of support: A mentor within the centre who has completed the same qualification or a higher one.  A Supervisor/Manager who will meet with you regularly and support your learning pathway.  The Director team, who will assist with your training and any employment-related matters.  An assessor from the assessment company who will meet with you regularly to track your progress.  Additionally, you’ll have access to specialists in areas such as special educational needs, safeguarding, and speech and language, who will support your journey and the care you provide for the children.  Training Outcome:We hope that many of our apprentices choose to stay with us after completing their apprenticeship. We often offer a full-time role as you complete your End Point Assessment, allowing you to transition into a qualified position. If you wish to continue your learning, there are pathways for Level 5, Level 6, and beyond, and we will support you in pursuing these opportunities. However, we also understand that everyone has their own career goals, and we will support you in whichever direction you choose to go.  Employer Description:We believe in a collaborative, child-centred approach where everyone, from apprentices to directors, plays a vital role in creating nurturing environments for children. Our culture is built around continuous learning, reflective practice, and open communication. While the work can be challenging, it is deeply rewarding, and our team is committed to supporting each other in providing the best care and education for the children.Working Hours :Apprenticeships require a minimum 30 hours per week, and all apprenticeships with us extend to 40 hours during your training.
