Residential Childcare L3 Apprenticeship

Early Years Educators, and other job roles such as nursery nurse and childminders, are highly trained professionals who play a key role in ensuring that young children learn and develop well and are kept healthy and safe. They work in a range of settings including full day care, children’s centres, preschools, reception classes and as childminders. They may either be working on their own or supervising others to deliver the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) requirements set by Government for the learning, development and care of children from birth to 5 years old.

Assignments and written & practical exams.

There are no entry requirements, however you will undertake an Initial Assessment to ascertain your suitability for the apprenticeship. If you do not already have GCSE C or 3/4 grades in Maths and English you will be required to complete and achieve Functional Skills as part of the apprenticeship.

Students can go onto careers working with children in nurseries, crèches and schools, throughout Britain. There is also the opportunity to work in Europe and beyond, with holiday companies and cruise liners.

Students can also progress to the Foundation Degree in Early Years which can be studied at Calderdale College or university.
