Swift Childcare Apprenticeship has given me a fantastic opportunity to study and complete a level 3 qualification at the end of the year with hands on experience with children, which has enhanced my motivation and made me eager to work with children.
Level 3 EYE Apprentice
The staff have been really helpful, I have learnt a lot about the children's behaviours now that I've had experience having them for such a long period of time and how to react in situations. I have really enjoyed bonding with the children and helping them with their learning.
Level 3 Early Years Educator Apprentice
I have settled into my setting really well and I have gotten along with all the staff members there. I have learnt how to use ‘Blossom’ to update the parents and add pictures of things the children are doing. I have enjoyed feeding the children and getting to know them so that they can be used to me and get along with me well.
Level 3 Childcare Apprentice
I am very supported to do well and pushed to do my very best.

I think that Swift deserves to win Training Provider of the Year due to the fact that throughout my learning experience with Swift I have been provided with a immersive amount of support and advice from each and every staff member.
