Team leader & supervisor apprenticeship standard
This level 3 apprenticeship training programme develops focused, high achieving, and knowledgeable room leaders who lead a team to deliver outstanding childcare.
It is suitable for those taking their first step into management, as well as those who are experienced in managing within clearly-defined outcomes.
You will learn valuable methods to improve performance and will undertake training to develop your skills, knowledge and behaviours in a number of areas that are considered essential aspects of leadership, in a childcare setting, such as managing people, developing relationships, delivering results, managing yourself and supporting with Ofsted inspections.
All elements of this training programme have been developed with child care at their core, ensuring that high-quality provision of care remains at the forefront of all development.
Once completed, you can become an associate or member of the Institute of Leadership and Management or Chartered Management Institute. With experience, you could also progress onto our Childcare Operational Manager apprenticeship programme.
