Early Years Traineeships at CNTC

Our traineeships are a one of a kind opportunity to work and train at our wonderful day nursery and earn while you learn on-site.

Are you an energetic and enthusiastic individual with a passion for early years care and education?

Do you want somewhere that you can gain a qualification whilst gaining experience on the job?

Do you have either paid or voluntary experience working with young children e.g. Babysitting, work or placement in a nursery, volunteering with brownies?

If you answered yes, then we are looking for people just like you to join our early years traineeship program!

Chiltern Nursery & Training College offers high quality training for qualified nursery staff and trainees alike; ensuring the delivery of the best possible care and education for children which is our number one priority.

As part of our strong commitment to inclusion, safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, we expect all staff and applicants to provide satisfactory background checks, references and an enhanced DBS disclosure.

Training at Chiltern has opened doors and given me the confidence and high standard of experience to explore other areas of childcare. I have always been made to feel like part of the team in each room and I am grateful for all the support I have had at Chiltern.

When I moved to the UK, I was thrown out of my comfort zone. The traineeship at Chiltern has given me the confidence to grow both personally and professionally. The people I have worked with have been incredibly supportive and constantly motivate me to think bigger and reach for more and be the best I can be.
