SPOTLIGHT
Employer of the Year
This setting has always taken every effort to provide a
supportive environment for their apprentices. This includes
providing their apprentices with different learning opportunities,
both within the setting and through attending regular training.
This setting always understands where their apprentices are at
within their qualifications and what support they can give to
work alongside this. The management team at the setting do
well to recognise the apprentices and their individual learning
styles and offer support to each individual based around this.
It is lovely to see how much the setting has a great community focus, and how they
encourage apprentices to be involved in supporting different charities throughout the year
through various fundraising events. Showcase staff who work with the setting are always
made to feel welcomed by all staff and are supported to provide the best learning and
development for all apprentices.

Apprentice of the Year
This learner worked exceptionally hard throughout the duration of their apprenticeship. They
consistently completed work to a high standard, often exceeding the expectations of a level 2
learner. When they prepared for their observations to take place, they ensured that each
activity was well planned and that all seven areas of the children’s learning and development
was supported. The activities planned were imaginative and captured the children’s interests,
which resulted in the children being really engaged in the different opportunities they were
provided with.
Alongside this, this learner was able to demonstrate how
they could build excellent relationships with all of the
children in their care, adapting their practice confidently to
meet the children’s age and stage of development. This
learner had a successful end point assessment and this
resulted in them passing their apprenticeship with a
distinction. Since completing their level 2 apprenticeship,
this learner has started their level 3 as a commercial learner
with us at Showcase Training.
