Do you find inspiration in the imaginations of a child?

Can you appreciate the magic in a muddy puddle?

At Little Angels our apprentices play a crucial part in supporting delivery of welfare and care in early years.

Please find below the duties and expectations of an early years practitioner apprentice:

  • Ensure the welfare and safety of children is promoted and report safeguarding issues and concerns to the person in charge
  • Support the planning and delivery of purposeful play activities in line with the early years foundation stage
  • Work with parents, colleagues and other agencies to ensure children’s individual needs are met
  • Support the children to understand healthy life choices through engaging play activities
  • Take an active role in seeking out continuous professional development opportunities during the apprentices programme and beyond
  • Use communication and knowledge of child development to engage with children and support those requiring additional support
  • Support children who are experiencing transitions such as moving to school or birth of a sibling, using your knowledge of the children to support them
  • Carry out respectful care routines such as feeding, nappy changing and dental care
  • Take an active part in the completion of their apprenticeship, meeting deadlines set by their trainer assessor and working with the dedicated mentor to develop their knowledge, skills and behaviours
  • Support children’s numeracy, literacy and language through a range of play activities and opportunities

Your trainer assessor will meet with you regularly to provide teaching, learning and feedback from assessments completed.

To support your progress you will be required to complete a reflective journal of the learning you have undertaken and discuss this with your trainer assessor.
