Childcare Apprenticeship - Plymouth

Employer Description

We are based on the outskirts of Plymouth’s City Centre in Crownhill, for an easily reachable location. Our qualified team of practitioners aims to create a caring, safe, and inspiring environment to enhance your children’s experience and development supported by our safe, welcoming, and equipped day nursery. The nursery is open from 8am to 6pm for 51 weeks of the year. We also offer an early morning drop-off session from 7.30am, for which you would need to prebook. To provide you with full flexibility, we are only closed for a week at Christmas and all bank holidays. The nursery has three rooms: Babies 0-2, Toddlers 2-3, and Pre-school 3 years +. The rooms follow a similar routine, consisting of a rolling breakfast, followed by free play. Staff will lead certain activities before we pack away for circle time and snack time. Outside play is then encouraged but the free flow between in and out is allowed. Again, there follows a mix of child-led and adult-led activities, more often following the children’s ideas before coming together for some carpet time to enjoy lots of singing and stories before hand-washing for lunch. Babies will follow their own nap time needs; otherwise, most children will have a nap or restful meditation after lunch! Our afternoons mirror our morning routine incorporating snack time and tea time.
