Early Years Apprentice KIDS IN MOTION LTD

Apprentices will be a big part of our team; we will closely monitor them and work with them to ensure they are developing in different areas. They will closely shadow colleagues, room leaders and supervisors to gradually gain knowledge and understanding, all while gaining hands-on experience working with a number of young children. For example, planning activities which ensure each child is working towards the early learning outcomes.
