A childcare apprenticeship is an excellent way to enter a career working with children and will allow you to learn the necessary skills whilst also earning money and gaining a qualification simultaneously. Keep reading to find out if a childcare apprenticeship is a right fit for you.

During your childcare apprenticeship, you are taught the skills to look after children and keep them happy and safe. Part of this involves teaching young children to develop social and practical skills, which can mean using your imagination and thinking on your feet!

As an apprentice, you will work and interact with children daily, supporting the planning and delivery of activities, play and education. You may also interact with parents and wider multi-agency professionals and partners such as health visitors, social workers and speech and language therapists.

This could be in a private or public setting, including daycare, children’s centres, reception classes, playgroups, nurseries or social care settings.
