Level 3 Childcare Apprenticeship – Bishops Waltham Montessori (Term Time Only)
The Aspire Training Team are seeking a motivated, reliable and enthusiastic individual as an apprentice to complete their Level 3 Childcare qualification with Bishops Waltham Montessori.
Welcome to Bishop’s Waltham Montessori School. Our approach is child-centred, offering the child's first steps in education to be enjoyable, safe and rewarding. Enabling the child to gain confidence and self-esteem within a prepared environment using the Montessori ethos.
To the right of the building is an enclosed park which the children have the opportunity to visit daily with swings and slides and a large grassed area for running and playing.
An area where many varied life skills are introduced such as pouring drinks, laying a table, learning to do up zips and bows, caring for plants and developing good manners. All of these skills can be used in everyday situations and increase a child’s independence, self-esteem and confidence, helping them to become a self-reliant member of the community.
Within the school, the child has the opportunity to expand his/her language acquisition through songs, discussions, rhymes, stories, books and everyday communication skills as well as learning the sounds and shapes of the individual letters.
Children are able to develop and refine their physical skills through practical life activities which support hand-eye coordination, concentration and a pincer grip. Children have free flow access to the outdoors which allows them to develop greater control of their gross motor movements. Children play, learn and grow in our ever-changing outdoor facilities which include large construction, bikes, sand and water, planting and growing, large mark making, group games and climbing activities.
