Early Years Apprenticeships

What is an apprentice?

Imagine kick-starting your career while getting paid to learn. As an apprentice, you’ll be employed by a childcare company, gaining real-world experience every day, all while working toward a valuable qualification that will set you off on the right path towards your career goals.

You’ll get to be hands-on in the workplace, and you’ll also have the support of The London School of Childcare Studies (LSCS) as your Apprenticeship Training Provider, along with guidance from your employer. When you complete your apprenticeship, you’ll have a nationally recognised qualification under your belt, ready to open doors to new opportunities.
