This apprenticeship could see you working in a nursery looking after children under the age of 5 or even working for yourself in your home as a childminder. So if you can think on your feet and are good at organising and planning imaginative activities this could be the apprenticeship for you. Apprentices will be responsible for making sure children are looked after, kept active, happy and nourished and help children develop social and practical skills. This Apprenticeship gives you a fulfilling opportunity to work with children and young people while also gaining an understanding into the ‘hows’ and ‘whys’ of their development.
