We asked TSW Childcare route manager, Rachel Cox, and the wider apprenticeships and Flying Start team for their most insightful childcare interview questions.Even if your apprenticeship involved supporting others, make sure to highlight the role you played and the skills you brought to your team. In our early years setting, we do fire practices every month (talk about your own schedule) with the children and we record them in the setting diary – we note any problems and how we dealt with them. Try practising in front of someone else and ask if your example is clear and shows off what you personally did. How can you discover your childcare apprenticeship candidate’s qualities and experience at an interview? During placement, learners will need support from a professional within the real work environment who will be required to complete professional development records.

There is a lot of crossover between the Level 3 Diploma in Adult Care and the Level 2 Diploma in Care. For your interview you still need to look presentable and put together, but wear items that are easy to move in.You should work closely with parents to ensure you know what is happening in the child’s home and family life.

The possibility of funded professional development will attract people with career progression and development in mind.
