The Swift Way:

Training with Care

Expert Training and Apprenticeships for the Early Years Sector

At Swift Childcare, we do more than deliver high-quality training—we build confident, capable childcare professionals through a deeply supportive approach we call The Swift Way.

With extensive experience in the early years and childcare sector, we understand the real-world challenges that learners and employers face. That’s why our programmes are designed not only to build technical skills, but to provide the wrap around care that nurtures personal growth, resilience, and long-term success.

From safeguarding and academic support to mental health guidance and life skills coaching, we’re here to walk alongside every learner, every step of the way.

At Swift, we believe success is built on strong foundations, academic, emotional, and practical. Our wrap around care is designed to ensure every learner has what they need to thrive.

Safeguarding Care

Swift is committed to the highest standards of safeguarding, fully aligned with current legislation and best practices. Our culture is grounded in the belief that “it does happen here”, we are proactive, vigilant, and responsive.

We understand that safeguarding issues are real, and we take every measure to ensure learners feel safe, supported, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges with confidence.

Functional Skills Support

Every apprentice has unique functional skills needs, whether it’s building confidence, mastering the basics, or achieving qualifications. We make learning relevant by integrating real-world activities like applying ratios in space planning, to make concepts more meaningful.

Our team of specialist functional skills coaches provides tailored support from the very beginning. We identify barriers, both conscious and unconscious, and help learners overcome doubts such as “I’m not a maths person.” Each learner receives a personalised strategy, because we know there’s no one-size-fits-all solution.

Pastoral Support

No two learners walk the same path, and our pastoral care reflects that understanding. Our qualified pastoral and safeguarding officers offer compassionate, individualised support through life’s highs and lows.

Specialising in grief care and emotional wellbeing, our team also provides clear signposting to external services and support networks, ensuring learners never feel alone.

Academic Guidance

Swift may be a learner’s first step into further education, and we make sure it’s a supported one. Our robust induction process breaks goals into manageable steps, helping learners understand and visualise their journey.

Working closely with apprentices and employers, we develop tailored learning plans that begin with strong teaching, move into hands-on application, and ensure thorough understanding before advancing. Every learner is encouraged to discover and embrace their own learning style.

Mental Health Support

With growing mental health challenges across society, Swift is committed to proactive, compassionate care. Our CBT-trained staff work with apprentices to create practical action and support plans that foster resilience and positive choices.

We recognise that formal mental health services may have long wait times, so we provide interim, in-house support to bridge the gap. Our mental health first aiders help learners and staff alike understand triggers, self-care, and mental wellbeing.

Life Skills Development

For many, an apprenticeship is a first experience with both education and the workplace. That’s why we teach essential life skills—from reading payslips and managing bank accounts to understanding interest rates and workplace expectations.

We also guide learners in personal development, resilience-building, and healthy lifestyle choices, including navigating relationships and self-reflection.
