Childcare Apprenticeship Level 3 - Little People Montessori

Are you passionate about early childhood education? Join the team at Little People Montessori Nurseries and kickstart your career as a Level 3 Childcare Apprentice.

Little People of Fulham has been rated 'good' by Ofsted. It is the largest of the three nurseries and a wonderfully stimulating environment for little people to play and learn.

Little People Fulham nursery boasts a secure home-from-home environment for all ages.

For the youngest Little People we have a fully equipped Baby Suite with a separate sleeping room, sensory play room, baby art room, comfy lounge, bathroom area and milk kitchen. Once the babies start comfortably walking they can move into the Butterfly Room which is a large open space where the toddlers can continue developing their movements, relax in the reading corner or enjoy some sensory messy play.

At around 2.5 years old when the toddlers are ready they move upstairs to our Ladybird Room where they can enjoy the use of 4 classrooms shared with the Montessori Pre-school Room (age 3+) including a full art suite, 2 Montessori classrooms and an IT suite. Here the children also take Spanish lessons.
