The nursery group of 15 settings across the Midlands and South Yorkshire, will offer training at its new Mayfield House head office, which opened last month, to approximately 100 apprentices.
The training academy (pictured) will offer Level 2 and Level 3 childcare qualifications and the Level 1 and Level 2 Functional Skills programme in Maths, English and ICT.
Facilities include a large training room, multiple seminar rooms, an IT suite and meeting rooms.

It continually re-energises our organisation and is vital in ensuring effective succession planning as our company continues to expand.
