At Partou we’re more than just a team; we’re a close community driven by our passion for childcare, and our commitment to each individual child’s development.

Our apprentices will learn the skill of being an Early Years Practitioner while studying for a professional qualification. This allows nursery apprentices to earn while they learn in an engaging, progressive and supportive environment.

As well as observing experienced practitioners in the nursery, you will also have a number of roles and responsibilities.

Roles and responsibilities of a nursery apprentice include:

  • Planning and maintaining children’s records
  • Developing an understanding of Safeguarding Policy
  • Undertaking a shared responsibility for caring for children’s health, safety, cleanliness and general wellbeing
  • Working toward a childcare qualification, such as a Level 2 or 3 Early Years qualification

Your training

Your full role and responsibilities will be set out by your employer. Partou will provide you with all of the on-the-job training you need to up-skill in your role, and your 20% off-the-job learning will be incorporated as part of your working day. You will be working towards the Level 3 Early Years Educator apprenticeship standard, which includes:

  • Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours
  • Level 3 Diploma for the Early Years Educator
  • Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid or Level 3 Award in Emergency Paediatric First Aid
  • Level 2 Functional Skills in maths and English (if required)

This will be delivered through Partou‘s dedicated training provider, Realise.

Where it leads

  • Level 2 Pathway apprentices at Partou usually become qualified Nursery Assistants within 12 months of starting
  • After this, many move onto the Level 3 Pathway
