Sophie Hampshire
Sophie has been brilliant in her partnership with us in supporting our apprentices to gain their knowledge and experience along the course of their apprenticeships. The courses are extremely detailed and relevant to the sector for our apprentices to gain hands on learning that relates to their coursework and studies supporting the learning on the job.

Level 2 and 3 childcare apprenticeship …
I have been doing my apprenticeship since 2021 I have completed my level 2 childcare and will finish my level 3 in December. I couldn’t thank Hannah Watkiss enough for all the help and support through the times I have struggled but she has helped me through it all! I would recommend her for anyone who’s doing an apprenticeship in childcare as she is amazing.
