Childcare Apprenticeship - Level 3

Level 3 Childcare Apprenticeship - Dungaroos Preschool - Term Time Only

The Aspire Training Team are currently looking for an enthusiastic, hardworking and reliable individual to complete their Level 3 Childcare Apprenticeship at Dungaroos Preschool, Winchester

The Dungaroos vision started midway through 2021 when our founder, Julie Taylor, decided to take a step back into the nursery industry. 

The idea of Karla stems from the ethos that Kangaroos are bouncy, fun-loving animals that carry their children through their early years, and have children from the ages of 2 years to 5 years

We like to live by the characteristics that a kangaroo represents; living a free life and protecting the young children as they begin their journey into the world and grow into inspirational young people!

We provide our children with an early years experience that is centred on educating the whole child. We give children time and space in which to learn and develop and offer an adaptable environment where we encourage the children to make choices, and allowing them time to explore activities in both the indoor and outdoor environments. At Dungaroos we value the teaching and learning opportunities available through the outdoor environment, which offers unique opportunities that cannot be replicated indoors.
