Early Years Practitioner Apprenticeship

An apprentice in this role will work and interact directly with children on a day-to-day basis supporting the planning of and delivery of activities, purposeful play opportunities and educational programmes within the ethos of the setting. An EYP works as part of a professional team ensuring the welfare and care for children under the guidance and supervision of an Early Years Educator, teacher or other suitably qualified professional the Early Years Workforce. They will work in partnership with other colleagues, parents and/or carers or other professionals to meet the individual needs of each child and engage with children to support their learning and development.

As part of the Apprenticeship, you will have monthly workplace visits from a Learning Development Advisor, with 6 hours per week off the job training which will be tracked. You will build a portfolio showing your work-based evidence.

Apprenticeships delivered at our Scarborough Cayley Court campus require you to attend the Scarborough campus once every two weeks, whereas apprenticeships delivered at our Skipton campus require you to attend College one day a week.
