Why choose an Early Years apprenticeship?
Did you know 90% of a child’s brain develops by age 5?
As an Early Years Practitioner, you will help to nurture, inspire, and care for babies and toddlers in nursery settings up to the age of 5 – in that precious time where their brains are developing at great speed!
Your knowledge and skills will provide children with precious interactions and experiences which will help shape their development and ultimately, have a foundational impact on the rest of their lives.
Why choose an apprenticeship?
Combine real work with the training for you to thrive
An apprenticeship is a training programme that allows you to build both a catalogue of real-life work experience alongside an accredited, recognised qualification.
It’s the best of both worlds – gain paid, on-the-job experience in a sector you love whilst studying for those all-important qualifications so you can progress in your career.
