About Sweet Cuddles Nursery
Located in a quiet residential part of West London, Sweet Cuddles is a small private nursery that offers care and education for children aged 0 to 5 years. The setting is known for:
* Its small staff team and low child-to-adult ratios

* Focus on building secure emotional attachments with children
* Creating a home-from-home atmosphere where children feel safe and valued
The nursery’s size allows for personalised support and strong relationships with both families and children.

As a Level 3 Apprentice, you will be an active member of the nursery team, working directly with children and contributing to their care, learning, and daily routines.
Key responsibilities include:
* Supporting children’s daily care needs, including nappy changing, toileting, dressing, and feeding
* Helping to deliver age-appropriate activities that promote learning, language, and social development
* Encouraging play, exploration, and creativity through structured and free-flow sessions
* Assisting with meal preparation, hygiene routines, and maintaining a safe and clean environment
* Contributing to observations and developmental records under guidance from senior staff
* Following nursery policies on safeguarding, behaviour management, and health & safety
