Peterborough, United Kingdom Apricot Nursery Full time

**UNLOCK YOUR POTENTIAL AS AN APPRENTICE**

**Rated GOOD by Ofsted September 2024**

Our people are what make our Apricot family great. We see childcare as a profession, not just a job. So whatever level you are at in your childcare career, we’ll always encourage you to take on new opportunities and challenges - we want our teams to be the best

Whilst all our settings are different, they all share the same values and ethos; working together to inspire the children in our care. Children are at the heart of everything we do, so we are looking for individuals to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in. From a superhero one day to astronaut the next, no two days are ever the same

This position is at our Apricot Nursery in Peterborough. As a Nursery Apprentice you will be expected to provide the highest level of care and education for children attending the nursery. Whilst you are gaining hands on experience in a high quality childcare setting you will be working towards a recognised Early Years Educator qualification.

What will you be doing:

- Ensuring that the children’s individual needs are identified and met
- Supervising and supporting the children at all times, extending their interests and learning.
- Carrying out a wide range of interactive tasks including reading stories, helping at mealtimes, playing games, and changing nappies.
- Act as a positive, practical role model for the children
- Develop friendly, professional relationships with staff members and parents
- Ensure you fully understand and follow Safeguarding Procedures

In return, we offer a forward thinking nursery group with super children and families who deserve the very best. We can also offer an excellent induction programme and ongoing professional development, tailored to your professional needs.

**Previous applicants need not apply.**
