Celebrations at Early Years Care Awards Evening

Chamber Training recently hosted an Early Years Care Apprenticeship awards evening at their premises in Coventry to celebrate high achieving Apprentices and employers across the Coventry & Warwickshire region.

The first deserving winner of Level 2 Apprentice of the Year was Hanna Belgrove from Castle Nursery, which offers a unique blend of professional childcare and education. Hanna has demonstrated outstanding development, progression and commitment within the organisation.  She has also developed the practical skills required to maximise her role and future growth for the nursery setting.

The 2nd outstanding winner of Level 3 Apprentice of the Year was Shannon Fennell from Little Angels of Leamington Spa. The management team recognised Shannon’s qualities and contribution to the business ethics of the nursery and she has already shown great leadership skills by becoming an effective role model to her peers. She has gained invaluable knowledge and experience from her Apprenticeship through Chamber Training which has clearly laid down the foundation for her future progression within the company.

Winner of the highly competitive award “Employer of Year” went to Bambini Childcare Ltd which provides ‘good’ care for children aged 2-11 years.  The company has been working in partnership with Chamber Training for over 10 years and has always seen a clear link to the skills gained by apprentices and off the job training.  With support and guidance from Chamber Training, they have been able to mould their apprentices into quality practitioners with an opportunity to progress and grow within the company.

Sarah Williams, Training Manager at Chamber Training remarked: “We would like to congratulate all of our fantastic winners who have shown that Apprenticeships can offer employees a real chance to work towards a qualification and a head start in the field of work they want to work in. Businesses taking on an apprentice between 16-18 years old may also benefit from a £1,000 incentive, so get in touch with us at Chamber Training to find out more.”
