Early Years Educator Apprentice

An Early Years Apprenticeship at Charlton Nurseries offers a fantastic opportunity to gain a nationally recognised qualification while building a rewarding and enjoyable career in childcare. As an apprentice, you will help deliver a programme of activities tailored to the individual needs and interests of children, maintain developmental records and learning journeys, and share progress with parents and carers. You’ll be responsible for planning engaging learning experiences, supporting your colleagues, and fostering strong relationships with families. The role also involves participating in out-of-hours activities such as training sessions, staff meetings, parent evenings, and fundraising events. Flexibility is key, as you may be asked to assist with domestic tasks like preparing snacks or cleaning equipment. You’ll work closely with the nursery manager and team to uphold the nursery’s philosophy, follow all relevant policies and procedures, and ensure accurate record-keeping, including accident reports. Above all, you’ll be expected to contribute to the nursery as a whole, remain aware of each child’s individual needs, and maintain confidentiality at all times.
