As a nursery early years practitioner, you will play a vital role to the key children under your care.
Not only will you be the first point of contact for them and their parents, you will also be the main games maker, hug giver, singing partner and toilet buddy.
The children will look to you for guidance and reassurance as they learn every day. You may not be the greatest singer, but the children will not care, they will still sing along with you at the top of their voices. You will be required to go on magical explorations with them as they create fantasy worlds in our garden and beautiful rooms.
All of these adventures will be documented and given as feedback to the parents. You will do this whilst also taking on the next qualifications to help you develop your early years career. You will have the full support of the room leader and managers; remember they have been through this process themselves and can show you a million and one ways of answering the most common question you will face all day…WHY?
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.
