Childcare & Education

Working in childcare and education provides the opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of children, helping to shape their development and contributing towards their long-term success and wellbeing. As such, a career within this industry can be extremely rewarding and provides a great sense of satisfaction and fulfilment.

By completing a course in childcare, you open the door to a wide range of career paths such as early years practitioners, teaching assistants, and school leaders. Given the government's commitment to increasing access to early years education and improving educational outcomes for children, the sector is continuously growing and developing, and so these roles offer many opportunities for advancement.

By completing an apprenticeship in childcare and education, you can gain hands-on experience in a real-world childcare setting. With the support of our experienced tutors and assessors, you'll be able to achieve your goals and make a real difference in the lives of children and their families.
