How Do Childcare Apprenticeships Vary?

Childcare Apprenticeships have an official name - their Sunday name. You will be doing your qualifications under the bracket of Children & Young People’s Workforce Apprenticeship.

The great news is, once you have decided where your strengths are and where you want to take your career, you can choose pathways in your childcare training. You might want to work with babies and toddlers, for example. Or working with early years children might inspire you. Some of you might prefer youth work with adolescents and teenagers.

You can see how varied they are can’t you? And Childcare Apprenticeships can lead to a variety of careers. Nursery Apprenticeships can see you working in day nurseries of varying sizes. Other childcare training courses can lead you to being a childminder, au pair, nanny, teaching assistant, kids club administrator, youth support worker… Phew! It’s down to you to decide which direction you want to go in.

Your experience during Apprenticeships in Childcare will depend on the level you are doing and the employer you are working for. Let’s look at what could be involved.
