Early Years Educator Level 3 Childcare Apprenticeship

Armadillos Nursery and Pre-School Limited SE5 9QJ

Armadillo means "armoured little one" in Spanish and here at Amadillo Nurseries, they understand that the first five years of any child’s life is vitally important. Armadillo Nurseries were created to provide early years education that really makes a difference. They are conveniently located between Herne Hill, Camberwell and Brixton and are committed to delivering affordable nursery care that really counts. They know that many parents worry whether they’re choosing the right people to look after their child. That’s why they always open and transparent and ready to answer any questions, whatever they might be.

They believe that children learn best through fun and play so they work hard to create an engaging nursery environment that really nurtures their potential. All staff are qualified and committed and they help us develop the nurturing environment that really encourages all children to progress while they enjoy their time at the setting. They don’t just focus on early years education but make sure that all aspects of their delivery meet expectations. That includes maintaining high levels of child safety and ensuring the right, wholesome nutrition is provided for the children in their care. Plus they are very fortunate to have a well equipped playground and outdoors space, creating an additional area for learning and fun!
