Abby McGowan is a qualified practitioner!
/
During school Abby completed the Employability Award and went on to achieve the National 5 in Early Years which helped her to build the knowledge required to take on an Apprenticeship.
Taking the advice from teachers, Abby progressed to college and completed the NC in Health & Social Care before applying to the Apprenticeship. Alongside her studies Abby worked part time in a local café. All of this prior experience equipped Abby with the skills required to work in a nursery.
Abby’s employer at Puddleduck Nursery were extremely supportive. The Nursery Liaison Manager, Kathleen, had this to say about Abby. “Since starting in Puddleduck nursery, Abby has grown into a confident, bubbly practitioner who has a natural passion when working with children and their family. She is a great support to staff and management and is displaying good leadership skills. Abby is always eager to learn new initiatives and tries to implement these into the playroom, to provide the children with good quality learning experiences. We are excited to see how she continues to grow and what direction her career takes her.”

With the support of her assessor, we found an excellent nursery for Abby to complete the SVQ 3 Social Services Children & Young People. Abby went from strength to strength and has now achieved the award.
Jacqui, Abby’s assessor, spoke highly of her progress and was delighted to see Abby become a qualified Early Years Practitioner.
“Abby has secured a qualified position with Puddleduck Nursery, who supported her through her apprenticeship. Well done Abby on all you hard work”
Well done Abby and good luck in your future career.
