Position: Apprentice at Playdays Daycare Nursery in Bolton, Greater Manchester

How do you feeling about winning: Bolton College's Childcare Apprentice of the Year award?

I was really pleased to receive the award in recognition of my work with the children. At the awards ceremony at the college, I was presented with a trophy and certificate by my tutor Michelle Bennett.

How did you celebrate the win?

I was featured in the local newspaper and the nursery published the news on their website, along with telling all the parents about it.

What made you choose a career in childcare?

I have a passion for working with children and previously did a three-month work placement in a nursery, before applying for an apprenticeship at Playdays. At the moment I am focusing on completing my NVQ and gaining more experience in the sector.
