About the role

Babraham Nursery is seeking a Nursery Apprentice to join their team. The successful candidate will study towards an Early Years Practitioner or Educator Apprenticeship (Level 2 or 3) and gain valuable on-the-job experience. Responsibilities include assisting with a group of young children, planning and supervising activities, liaising with parents, and observing children's development. The role involves working 4 days in the nursery with a 7-hour college day, totaling 38.5 or 39 hours per week. Benefits include study support, funding, and career development opportunities. Essential requirements are GCSEs in English and Maths (grade 3 or D). Strong communication, attention to detail, and organizational skills are important, as is a genuine enjoyment of working with children and patience. The apprentice must be enthusiastic, motivated, and able to communicate effectively with children, staff, and parents. A DBS check is required, and the apprentice must be prepared to work with all age groups up to 5 years old, get messy, and spend time outdoors in all weather.
