Early Years Practitioner Level 2 Apprentice

At Hunny Hive Day Nursery, your main role as a Level 2 Apprentice is to contribute to delivering a high standard of physical, emotional, social, and intellectual care for the children in our setting.

During your apprenticeship, you will be involved in planning and supporting age-appropriate activities that promote development across all areas, while ensuring a safe, welcoming, and nurturing environment.

You’ll be expected to encourage physical wellbeing, prepare engaging resources, and provide comfort and care to help children feel secure. Your responsibilities will also include maintaining up-to-date achievement records for your key children, working closely with parents- especially those of children with additional needs- to support full integration, and actively participating in nursery events such as staff meetings, parents’ evenings, and seasonal celebrations.

Flexibility is key, as you may assist with domestic tasks and support the wider team as needed. You’ll also help uphold the nursery’s philosophy, record accidents and incidents, and ensure safeguarding and health and safety policies are followed at all times.

Additionally, you’ll support positive behaviour management, participate in training and development opportunities, and report any health and safety concerns to the management team.
