Job Description

Could a career working with children be the job for you?

Our award winning nursery in Sheffield (Middlewood) are looking to employ a Nursery Apprentice

As a Nursery Apprentice you will be taking the first steps in your career as you support children in the most important part of their learning development.


Not only will you gain on the job training and development, you will also understand what it is like to play a leading role in a child's education. Our apprentices are given the tools to become practitioners of the future, some have even moved into senior management positions.

So what makes a great apprentice?

If you can sing and dance (bad singing and dancing is encouraged and accepted). Are you a great sculpture, by great we mean can you make a worm out of playdough? Could drink endless cups of pretend tea lovingly made by our children? Do you have the stamina to help children with toilet breaks...lots of toilet breaks? Are you prepared to laugh a lot at work? Laughter will be something you experience all day. Are you able to mop up tears as and when needed and provide big hugs on command? Multi-tasking is a big part of working in a nursery, especially keeping tabs on roaming little heads as they are constantly inside the room, then outside in the garden. Finally, are you ready to play a role in one of the most important parts of a child's development?

Why join us?

Well getting to our nursery is easy as we have excellent local transport links, parking is also available nearby. We have had some recent renovations inside and out, so our nursery is all shiny and new. You will receive lots of company benefits and the chance to gain additional qualifications. Last but definitely not least you will have the chance to attend our glamorous annual staff awards night.

This is an exciting opportunity to join our award-winning nursery group.


We invest in our staff and want them to be our leaders of the future.


No other job will pay you to learn, develop, have fun, laugh, mop up tears, play hide and seek (sometimes in the world's biggest garden jungle), give hugs whilst mopping up tears and have the proudest moments when parents thank you for how YOU are helping shape the lives of their children.


A full job description can be given upon request. You will need to complete an enhanced DBS certificate and receive 2 satisfactory reference requests upon an offer of employment being made.
