Childcare Apprenticeship - Level 3

Childcare Apprenticeship – Level 3 – Kennington Pre-School

The Aspire Training Team are currently recruiting for a punctual, reliable, and enthusiastic individual to join Kennington Pre-School as a Level 3 Childcare Apprentice in September 2024

Kennington Pre-school is a wonderful place for young children to learn and grow.

The pre-school itself is located on the Avenue, on the grounds of St Swithuns School, although we are independent, and this is in the heart of the beautiful village of Kennington.

Kennington Pre-school has been running since 1969 (previously known as Kennington playgroup). In 2017 we became a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). We employ several qualified staff to care and teach the children on a daily basis, but the charity itself is run by a voluntary committee. Being an independent charity means that we can keep our costs low so childcare remains affordable and that we can focus on what people in our community need childcare wise.

We offer a safe and nurturing environment for children aged 2-5 years old. The staff are highly qualified and dedicated to providing the best care and education for each and every child. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) guidance, which focuses on the individual needs and interests of each child. This allows the children to learn and develop at their own pace, while also encouraging them to explore and discover new things.
