Do you have a passion for working with children and want to join a work family that truly makes a difference in the lives of youngsters?
At our nurseries, we offer a childcare apprenticeship scheme to those who are interested in working with babies and children under five years old. We use this scheme to introduce a limited number of carefully selected, new and enthusiastic practitioners to childcare. The course is a great opportunity for school leavers who are looking to embark upon a career within the early years sector, or for existing team members or mature adults looking for a new challenge and wanting to gain a valuable qualification.
We are proud of our hard work to ensure that we fully support our apprentices through their learning journey. The scheme is funded, work is paid and we expect our apprentices to qualify at Level 2 or 3 within 12 to 18 months of joining us.
Why Choose All About Children?
What Does the Childcare Apprenticeship Scheme Entail?
Our childcare apprenticeship is a
work-based qualification gained through practical hands-on experience with
dedicated study time each week. The training provider will visit regularly to
complete observations alongside set assignments, online tasks and longitudinal
studies.
Our apprentices work alongside experienced professionals
and with the expectation that they will contribute to the care that we provide.
You will combine ‘on the job’ training at the nursery with the need to manage
your own ‘study time’ to complete your qualification, with time out being given
to you during working hours to achieve this.
Working as an additional member of our team ‘over and above’ our normal staffing means that you will be providing our nurseries with additional support – which we have found is of huge benefit to our apprentices to gain hands-on experience and training, and to both the children we care for and fellow colleagues.
I am so glad I undertook the apprenticeship; it has really given me an opportunity to have hands on experiences, learn about every aspect of childcare and has given me a way to put my knowledge that I’m learning into practice. I have a wonderful support network at The Little People.
Elsa – The Little People, apprentice
Which Option is For You?
We offer two
different childcare apprenticeships for you to choose from:
Level 3 Pathway (Advanced Apprenticeship-the
equivalent of two A Levels)
Once qualified,
pays a competitive salary, significantly higher than the Level 2 pathway.
You could move
into full-time work and become a qualified Early Years Practitioner within 12 to
18 months of starting.
With hard work
and further experience, you can be in a strong position to apply for more
senior positions such as Room Leader or Early Years Coordinator.
Level 2 Pathway (Intermediate
Apprenticeship-the equivalent of five GCSEs at Grade 4+)
You could be a qualified Nursery Assistant within 12 months of starting and move onto the Level 3 pathway to move into full-time work with us.
I started off at college and quickly realized I wanted to explore more of the practical day to day side of childcare, so I opted for an apprenticeship. I started and have never looked back. I found the course very informative and it gave me exactly what I wanted which was to work with children.

I knew I wanted to work in childcare and heard about apprenticeships, I wasn’t sure where to apply so put out a post on Facebook which Emma the Deputy responded to, she asked me to send in my CV which I did. Emma and the Manager interviewed me and gave me the opportunity to work as a temporary staff member to see if this was something I wanted to do.
