Job Description

Are you enthusiastic, cheerful, with more energy than average? Could you create the magic moments that make a childhood?



A local Children's Nursery in Eastleigh is looking for apprentice Childcare Assistants to join their growing team whilst studying towards a nationally recognised qualification.



Cuddles and Care are open between 8:00am and 6:00pm for 51 weeks of the year, closing for bank holidays and a week over Christmas. We offer full day (8am-6pm), morning and afternoon sessions. Our aim is to provide high quality childcare in a safe and nurturing environment, with a vast array of activities for the child's enjoyment and education. We will also provide Early Years Education within our settings.



If you want to work as part of a friendly, supportive and caring team, that's dedicated to helping children to learn and grow to be the best they can be, then this is the Apprenticeship for you. Some of your daily activities could include:




  • Planning and assisting in activities such as arts and crafts, music and cooking

  • Helping children to learn numeracy and literacy skills

  • Feeding and changing babies





Upon successful completion of this apprenticeship you'll gain a nationally recognised childcare qualification, along with functional skills in Maths, English & ICT.



Now is a great time to start your career in childcare as improving child care provision is high on the government's list of priorities. Their aim to provide free places for all three to four year olds has created thousands of new jobs, and this Apprenticeship will equip you with the relevant skills and requirements to make the most of this growth.



All of your training will be provided by learndirect, the UK's largest provider of Apprenticeships. We've helped lots of people like you develop their skills and gain experience in their chosen field. Every year we find work for and train over 23,000 apprentices.


Personal Qualities : You will be an outgoing, friendly and caring individual who is capable of working as part of a team. You will be required to follow strict health and safety guidelines to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the children.

Skills Required : You will need good communication skills and be comfortable with creative thinking. It is helpful if you are confident with children, calm and organised but most importantly - patient

Future Prospects : When you have successfully completed your Apprenticeship, you may have the opportunity to continue with an exciting career in childcare! Initially you will be working towards an NVQ Level 2 in Childcare, with a chance to progress to a level 3 after that.
