Partnership working 🤝

We all know how hard our apprentices work to secure the right opportunity within a nursery and to fit in as part of the team. It's fair to say that Jaidyn's journey to starting an apprenticeship was longer than most. Having lived and studied in South Africa most of her life, Jaidyn followed in her brothers footsteps moving to Scotland to pursue a career in Early Years.
Jaidyn successfully found employment within a nursery in Dundee and quickly established herself as a key member of the team. Leigh, the manager at Little People Nursery, called L&G Learning looking for a new provider to support Jaidyn (and others) to achieve the SVQ 3 in Social Services Children & Young People. Leigh went on to say…
“Since we decided to join L and G learning for our modern apprentices I feel the candidates are learning far more relevant information and are much more supported throughout their training”
Despite having no formal work experience in a nursery and no qualifications in Scotland Jaidyn thrived on the work-based learning with the support of her assessor Linzi who said “Jaidyn has been a shining star throughout her apprenticeship. Quietly building her confidence, nurturing her babies and learning all the theory behind her practice. Jaidyn is a real asset to Scotland's childcare sector and worked tirelessly to achieve this qualification”. The Manager at Little People has went on to praise Linzi saying “Linzi has been amazing with our candidates, Jaidyn feels she was supported and was given the best guidance”.
Jaidyn went on to complete the Apprenticeship within one year due to the hard work and commitment shown throughout. Leigh was very impressed with Jaidyn’s dedication to the Apprenticeship saying, “Jaidyn has worked very hard and dedicated a lot of her time to ensuring she was gaining the correct knowledge to help her do her coursework and completed her apprenticeship quicker than the estimated time scale which I feel sets a bar for other candidates and will help them learn hard work pays off. We are so proud of Jaidyn completing her SVQ 3”.
We have no doubt that Jaidyn will be an asset in the Early Years sector and we look forward to seeing what the future holds for her career at Little People Nursery.
