8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There are many sports teams, charity networks and religious networks. The early years team plan socials, volunteers and away days for you whilst you are on the apprenticeship and there is an opportunity to get involved in the planning and organisation of them if you find that interesting. When you complete the early years programmes, our competency based 'home' teams create a positive, supportive and fun community that fosters continuous learning and development
