Marvin OnumonuBusy Bees has set out plans to recruit over 500 new apprentices across the UK, adding to an existing group of more than 1,100 apprentices in training at over 357 nurseries.
The move aims to support the Government’s early years workforce plans and meet rising demand for childcare staff.
The new roles are based at centres across the UK and offer training towards Level 2, 3 or 5 qualifications in childcare and education.
All successful candidates will be offered a job once they complete their training, with benefits including enhanced family leave, discounted childcare, and pay above the national minimum wage for apprentices.
Emma Langford, European people director at Busy Bees, said: “Our apprenticeship programme reflects the culture we’re so proud of at Busy Bees – one that is rooted in investing in our people and nurturing future talent.
“We welcome ambitious individuals who want to build a career in early years while making a meaningful difference to children’s lives.
“Our apprentices play a vital role in shaping children’s formative years, and we’re incredibly proud of their dedication, professionalism and commitment to supporting children’s learning and development.”
