Our programs are crafted to offer a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical skills essential for working effectively with young children in educational settings.

Our early years apprenticeships cater to individuals at different stages of their career journey. For those new to the field, our Level 2 Diploma for the Early Years Practitioner provides a solid foundation in childcare basics. Apprentices learn about child development, health and safety practices, and how to support children’s learning through play. This qualification is ideal for those seeking entry-level positions in nurseries, preschools, or as childminders.

At the intermediate level, our Level 3 Diploma in Children’s Learning and Development (Early Years Educator) equips apprentices with advanced skills in planning, implementing, and evaluating early years education. This apprenticeship delves deeper into child psychology, curriculum planning, and safeguarding, preparing individuals to take on roles as early years educators or lead practitioners. Apprentices gain practical experience in creating stimulating learning environments, supporting children’s holistic development, and fostering positive relationships with families.

Our early years apprenticeships are delivered by experienced trainers who are dedicated to supporting apprentices every step of the way. Apprentices benefit from a combination of classroom learning, practical placements in childcare settings, and ongoing assessment to ensure they meet industry standards and qualifications.
