Aspire Training Team are currently looking for an enthusiastic, hardworking and reliable individual to complete their Level 3 Childcare Apprenticeship at Willow Nursery and Pre-School

Our setting is separated into two buildings, a Nursery & Pre-School. Our Nursery caters for children aged 3 months to 3 years old and our Pre-School caters for children aged 3 years to 4 years 11 months old.

We have a large outdoor play area, which is solely for the use of our Willow children.  It is equipped with climbing apparatus, mud kitchen and digging area and a flat surface for the use of bikes, cars and ball games. We also conduct Forest school sessions. We have an holistic approach throughout the early years, which focuses on the child and celebrates their ability and competence. 

We believe that children learn by doing rather than being told, and by given appropriate responsibility and allowed to make errors decisions and choices, this informs their learning and allows the staff to plan accordingly.
