Introduction
Are you passionate about working with children? If so, you’ll be a perfect addition to our family! We are recruiting for a nursery practitioner in our Woodlands Harrogate Day Nursery! As a nursery apprentice, you will have the opportunity to observe childcare workers in the nursery as they teach, communicate and play with little ones.
About the Employer
For us at Partou, childcare isn’t just a job, it’s a journey – one where every child leads us in a unique new direction. As part of the Netherlands’ largest childcare group, we’ve access to world‑leading expertise in learning and development, so you can be confident your child will benefit from an experience as unique as they are. Of course, care is as much about empathy as education, and ours is a child‑led approach that emphasises building confidence and curiosity – so that every child in our care has the freedom to flourish.
What You’ll Do
At Partou, we’re more than just a team—we’re a close-knit community driven by a passion for childcare and a strong commitment to each child’s individual development. Our apprenticeship programme offers a fantastic opportunity to train as an Early Years Practitioner while working towards a professional qualification, allowing you to earn while you learn in a supportive, engaging, and progressive environment. Alongside observing experienced practitioners, apprentices take on meaningful responsibilities such as planning and maintaining children’s records, developing an understanding of safeguarding policies, and sharing responsibility for the health, safety, cleanliness, and overall wellbeing of the children. You’ll be supported and mentored every step of the way by qualified staff, build strong relationships with children, parents, and colleagues, and help plan and deliver activities in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
We offer a competitive hourly wage starting from £12.26 (depending on age and experience), along with a wide range of exciting benefits including genuine career progression opportunities, access to accredited training, a comprehensive pension scheme with employer contributions, 60% childcare discounts across our settings in England, enhanced maternity and paternity leave, high street discounts, a buddy bonus scheme, a paid day off on your birthday, and 24/7 access to health and wellbeing support through a professional counselling helpline—and so much more.
