What You'll Be Doing

You’ll learn through a combination of dedicated training and hands‑on experience, with colleagues beside you to explain, demonstrate, and help you build confidence.

One moment you might be helping children explore textures or build a tower. The next, you could be learning how familiar routines help children feel safe and settled.

With guidance from your team, you’ll:

• Help create a warm, welcoming environment where every child feels included and encouraged
• Support play and learning inspired by children’s interests and the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
• Learn about children’s development, noticing and celebrating the steps they take

• Help with everyday routines, including mealtimes, personal care, and rest
• Develop your understanding of safeguarding, hygiene, and safe practice
• Complete your apprenticeship training and tasks, putting your learning into practice along the way

Our values are simple: Own it. Be human. Make it happen. As an apprentice, that means taking responsibility for your learning, treating others with kindness, and being willing to ask questions and try something new.

Where You'll Be Working

Our organic nursery has a cherished status in the village of Haxby and surrounding York villages. Our two beautiful buildings were beautifully refurbished in 2019, and we now care for 60 children each day. At Little Green Rascals Haxby we’ve created an environment that mimics ‘bringing the outside in’, embracing nature and embedding it into our everyday learning. We have a little secret garden away from the noise of all the rooms the children enjoy mini garden sessions. This is where we grow, tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries and peas. Set in the heart of Haxby, on the outskirts of York, we’re just a short walk away from the main high street.

Working Week

38 hours a week over 4 days with a day off. 20% of your working week will be dedicated to off-the-job learning.

Qualifications Required

GCSE level education and experience working with children is preferred for a level 3 role.
