About Love 2 Learn Nursery Limited

Love 2 Learn Nursery’s approach is built upon the understanding that every child is a unique individual with a set of talents and interests that can be supported and built upon. Every child has an insatiable thirst for knowledge and unlimited potential. It is our job to tap into that potential and teach children HOW to think - not WHAT to think!

Things to consider

You will need to be available for remote sessions on teams for 10 days out of your whole apprenticeship, for your remote learning. You will be working within the nursery for the rest of the time with the support of your dedicated childcare assessor. You will also be given 20% off-job training. This could be around 6 hours or more depending on your contracted hours.
