The property has been completely refurbished to create a state of the art nursery across two floors, offering a modern yet homely early years environment. The setting accommodates up to 60 children between the ages of 3 months and 5 years. The preschool and toddler groups are based on the ground floor across two rooms.

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.

Where it leads

On completion of your level 3 apprenticeship, 12-15 months, there may be opportunities to be promoted to a full-time Early Years Practitioner and we will work with you to create a continuous development plan and learning pathway to reach your future career goals within the Early Years sector.
