Rothley Park Kindergarten is excited to offer an opportunity for an Apprentice to join their dedicated team.

This role involves supporting the planning and delivery of age-appropriate activities that promote all areas of child development, with a strong focus on physical well-being and emotional care. You will help create a welcoming and safe environment where children feel secure and supported.

Responsibilities include working closely with children with special needs to ensure full integration, supporting colleagues, liaising with parents and families, and participating in all nursery events such as staff meetings, parents’ evenings, and seasonal celebrations.

Flexibility is key, as you may be asked to assist with domestic tasks like cleaning equipment. You’ll also be expected to uphold the nursery’s philosophy, report health and safety concerns, and maintain accurate records of accidents and attendance. The role includes preparing and completing developmentally appropriate activities, ensuring mealtimes are positive social experiences, and providing comfort to children when needed. If you are an ambitious and passionate individual starting your career in childcare, we would love to hear from you.

Your training

Your full role and responsibilities will be set out by your employer. They 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 by your dedicated training provider, Realise.
