How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
My tutor has been very supportive towards me especially as I am autistic she is very patient with me and explains everything to me in a way I can understand and equally my Room Leader at Busy bees is also very understanding with me and helps me with anything I need to know. my Assistant Centre Director has also been very supportive to me in my role at Busy Bees as an apprentice.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Once i get that final qualification I will grow in my confidence and this will increase my own continued professional development as a practitioner in childcare.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
Just staff meetings! We do not have the time to do team building events unless it was organised for an evening.
Recommendations & Advice

Yes

All the staff and management are very supportive to parents, carers and children and they go above and beyond for families in the community and all the Room Leaders are amazing they really support their staff and children.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Busy Bees Childcare?
Promote your passion for working with children and wanting to give children the best start in life it is a vocation not just a job as the pay is not great although the rewards are many huge job satisfaction you need to really want to work with children and realise it is not all about hugging children all day there is much more to the role than that. You need to keep the children safe and teach them right from wrong you need to be flexible , kind and compassionate and get down on their level.
