Level 2 Early Years Practitioner- "I have really enjoyed my apprenticeship. From the beginning, the training staff were absolutely lovely- so warm, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about helping us succeed. They created such a positive and supportive environment that made me feel comfortable and motivated to learn more. They provided amazing support throughout the apprenticeship, both in day release sessions and within the nursery. This apprenticeship confirmed my passion for working in childcare. The balance between hands-on experience in the nursery and structured day release sessions is perfect." August 2025
