Mulberry Bush Nursery Group have been working with Bury College for a number of years, hiring and training childcare Apprentices. The partnership has provided learners with amazing opportunities and resulted in thriving careers.
This apprenticeship will enable you to develop the knowledge and skills Early Years Practitioners need when supporting the development of babies and young children. It covers a wide range of areas including children and young people’s development.
The Early Years Practitioner is responsible for supporting child initiated and adult led activities based around the needs and interests of each individual child.
The role involves supporting the observation and assessment of each child and contribute to their learning experiences and assist with the care needs of individual children such as teeth, skin, hair, nappy changing and toileting under the direction of senior members of the team.
Early Years Practitioners have a responsibility for ensuring that they recognise when a child is in danger and/or at risk of serious harm or abuse and contributing to the health and safety of the children, staff and others on the premises.
