Work
As an apprentice, you’ll work at a company and get hands-on experience. You’ll gain new skills and
work alongside experienced staff.
What you’ll do at work
Our favourite type of people are happy, outgoing, friendly, funny and imaginative. We need someone who thinks nothing of collecting milk top lids and lollipop sticks ready for the perfect construction project. Has the best snake voice when reading the Gruffalo to a group of mesmerise children.
The ideal person will also have a secret talent in doing all the actions to ‘Grand Old Duke of York’ whilst moving the outdoor play equipment. The successful candidate will also know a great play dough recipe to help celebrate each one of the seasons.
In return, we have lots of small people who want to share their magical journeys of discovery with you. You will become someone’s new best friend overnight and your life will be filled with sunshine and giggles.
I won't deny it – we are looking for exceptional people.

- Work in partnership with other colleagues, parents and/or carers or other professionals to meet the individual needs of each child in line with company policies and procedures
- Use play to support children to understand and encourage healthy life choices
- Identify issues of safeguarding and child protection, ensuring that the welfare and safety of children are promoted and safeguarded and report any child protection concerns to the person in charge
