It’s about gaining hands-on experience, learning from the best, and having fun while doing it! Here’s why an apprenticeship with us is the perfect way to kickstart your career in childcare:

- Real-World Experience: Forget just reading about childcare—get stuck in! You’ll work directly with children, seeing firsthand how everything you’ve learned applies in real situations. It’s the kind of experience that really makes a difference.
- Mentorship from Experts: We’re here to support you! You’ll be paired with amazing mentors who are passionate about helping you grow. Whether you need advice, feedback, or just a chat, they’ve got your back every step of the way.
- A Clear Path to Success: With our structured apprenticeship programme, you won’t just be going through the motions—you’ll be building a career. We’ll guide you towards industry-recognised qualifications and the skills needed to make a real impact in early years education.
- Learn While You Earn: We get it—life doesn’t stop for qualifications! That’s why our apprenticeships allow you to learn and earn at the same time. You’ll gain valuable on-the-job experience, all while being paid for your hard work. Win-win!
- Opportunities to Grow: Once you’ve completed your apprenticeship, the world’s your oyster! There are plenty of career growth opportunities within Tops, from further qualifications to higher-level roles. We’re all about helping you take your next step.
- A Supportive Team Environment: At Tops, you’re not just an apprentice—you’re part of the family. You’ll be working in a positive, inclusive environment where everyone’s encouraged to share ideas, ask questions, and develop together.
- Earn While You Learn: We know that financial stability is important, which is why we offer apprenticeships that allow you to earn a wage while gaining your qualifications. It’s a great way to start your career without the pressure of student debt!
