A fantastic opportunity has become available at N Family Day Nursery Stoke Newington, Defoe Road

They are looking for an Apprentice Nursery Practitioner to join their ‘Outstanding’ setting, to fit well within their friendly team and learn skills on the job whilst supporting children’s play, learning & development.

What will you be doing day-to-day?

As an Apprentice Nursery practitioner, you will have the opportunity to rotate around the nursery rooms and forest school, gaining hands-on experience in all areas of our nurseries.

This, coupled with your apprentice training in early years, will equip you with all the skills, experience, and qualification to apply to progress into a qualified educator role with us.

This Apprenticeship will either be for a level 2 early years practitioner or level 3 early years educator depending on experience.

From there, you can develop your career at N Family, opting for a managerial route, or pursuing a specialism in an area that excites you. This role is for multiple positions due to the growth of the business.

The role is a full-time position (40h working week, 20% of which is spent on learning).

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
