About this employer
Rosemount is a family owned business. It was opened by Marilyn Sparks in April 1996 following years of fostering children in her home. On her retirement in 2007, Marilyn’s son in law, Ed Smith, took over Rosemount and both his children have been educated there. Rosemount prides itself on being an independent, family owned business. We combine unstructured play with traditional teaching methods where the older children are taught phonics, number work and other skills, such as baking, craft making and art, in small groups. As well as preparing children for academic life, we also teach them about nature and the environment. We grow fruit and vegetables, which the children harvest and we encourage children to have respect for animals, including the bugs and other creatures who visit our mature garden.
After this apprenticeship
There is a possibility of being offered a full time role after successful completion of the apprenticeship.
