Start your career with us
At Partou, apprenticeships play a key role in our nurseries, by providing the right support, environment, and the chance to learn while you work.
Whether you’re just starting out, or ready for the next step in your early years career, both our Level 2 and Level 3 Early Years apprenticeships will offer you hands-on experience, expert support and guidance, and the opportunity to make a real difference every day.
We work closely with trusted training providers across the country to help you build skills, gain recognised qualifications, and grow in confidence as part of a caring and knowledgeable team.
In the Northwest and Yorkshire, we partner with Realise Training to support apprenticeships in our nurseries in these regions. Click here to view all current vacancies.

Joining us as an apprentice means more than just training — it means becoming part of a team where children lead the way, and where your growth matters just as much as theirs.
Every Partou nursery has its own setting, in its own location, within its own community. But visit any one of them, anywhere in the UK, and you will find the same set of shared values.
Through Partou & You, every team member, regardless of role or contract, has access to learning, support, and career development opportunities.
At Partou, we believe in:
Care
Creating a warm, safe, and inspiring environment for children.
Compassion
Understanding that flexibility matters and offering different ways to work
Continuous learning
Providing opportunities for every team member to develop, grow, and progress.
