My apprenticeship has supported me by guiding me with a career path.

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.

Our nurseries across Birmingham and the West Midlands will be benefitting from these skills.

Childcare Apprentice Level 3

I am enjoying learning childcare alongside swift as there is plenty of professional yet friendly support.

Apprentice

If I had any improvements I would name them, but my experience has been good which I'm so grateful for. I was so nervous, but you've made me feel very welcomed, and I'm so grateful to have come across SWIFT.

Apprentice

Swift has helped to encourage me to become much stronger and confident as an individual as well as pushing me with each opportunity that they have to become a better person.

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.
