Early Years Apprentice

Early Years Apprentice at ECCO Solutions

Join our purpose-built site in the South Downs National Park, surrounded by fields and a 12th Century church. The campus has direct access to adjacent fields via a garden gate, offering opportunities for nature walks and bug hunts.

The approach is based on the Swedish curriculum, which holds that preschool rests on a foundation of democracy. Care and respect for others form the basis of everyday experience for children.

Children are grouped by age:
Bunnies (under
2), Hedgehogs (2‑3), Foxes (early preschool), and Owls (preschool year). Each group has a dedicated leader who designs developmental activities, aligned with the EYFS.
