Testimonials

Carousel Training Centre supported me to find employment in an Out of School Care setting. I found these hours of work suited me.

What I have enjoyed most, was learning as I work with the children on a day to day basis. During my apprenticeship I have learned about frameworks, guidelines and Legislation and how to work alongside Care Inspectorate standards.

I have supported children to learn through play and develop their goals and reach milestones. I enjoyed my time working with my Assessor and enjoyed my time visiting the training centre.

I am staying on at the setting as a qualified practitioner now that I have qualified.

I just wanted to take a moment to reflect on my time as a Child Practitioner Apprentice and share how much I’ve appreciated the journey. The hands-on learning approach was such a great fit for me.

It really helped me connect theory with practice, and I loved being able to work directly with the children while also studying. It was such a fulfilling experience and made the learning feel so much more meaningful.

I can’t thank you enough for the support you’ve given me throughout this process. You were always there when I needed guidance, to answer questions, or to provide feedback, and I can honestly say that your encouragement has been key in my development.

You’ve helped me believe in myself and recognise my potential in a way I hadn’t before, and for that, I’ll be forever grateful.

One of the things I’ve valued most about completing my qualification through an apprenticeship is the chance to earn while learning. It gave me the opportunity to build practical skills and gain confidence in my abilities, while also giving me a solid foundation to pursue my career in childcare with much more clarity and assurance.

Thank you so much for being there every step of the way.

I really enjoyed my apprenticeship I found it a really efficient way of learning as I got to learn on the job, the assignment’s were really helpful information.

I was very supported all throughout my apprenticeship and Margaret was very helpful when she came out to visit if I had any questions or needed help.

I am so glad I gained my qualification through an apprenticeship as I love putting what I learn into practice and I would’ve struggled a lot more with the assignments if I didn’t have the experience. I highly recommend an apprenticeship over the college route as you learn a lot more when experiencing it!

I am doing my Childcare Modern Apprenticeship at High Flyers Nursery  (Hallside).

From an early age I have always wanted to work with children.
I knew Carousel Training was the best way to do this. I applied online and was successful.
I then began my training in the nursery.

I was given an assessor who is very supportive and visits me regularly to assess my practice and she also supports and encourages me with my portfolio of evidence and anything I may be struggling with.

I continue to enjoy working with children off all ages, I  am looking forward to continue working hard to achieve my qualification with Carousel Training Centre.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Carousel Training Centre and was greatly supported during my Apprenticeship.
I met with my Assessor on a regular basis and had the opportunity to visit the Training Centre.
The whole experience has developed my knowledge and created fantastic opportunities!

I am working in Pitreavie Kindergarten as a Modern Apprentice.
I came to Carousel Training and completed an online application form, which was easy to follow and understand.
I was lucky enough to be accepted by Pitreavie Kindergarten as their Apprentice.
I was given an Assessor who has been very supportive and has helped me understand what is required and to use the VQ Folio.
I am absolutely loving working in my nursery and training with Carousel Training Centre.

Carousel have always been a good training centre and they have always had a good long-standing relationship with our company.

I  will always recommend Carousel Training to other settings.
I feel the training is excellent and covers all areas of learning.

Amanda is an excellent assessor and is extremely supportive not only to myself in accommodating nursery schedule buy always to the candidates. I have been extremely lucky that we have had excellent candidates over the years as we are a small setting and only take one apprentice at a time, when recruiting and have employment availability for successful candidates.  Thank you for your continued support in the developing and training of our staff team and candidates.

I would like to take the opportunity to mention that myself and my managers are very happy with the service provided by Carousel Training over the many years we have worked together.

I must give a special mention to our assessor, Linda Duffy, who has formed a very strong relationship with myself and my teams and is our primary reason for continuing to use Carousel as our preferred training provider, the service she provides is exemplary.

This is the 2nd time we have used Carousel Training for our employees, we are very pleased with all the regular visits for students.
They also provide online classes for students which no other provider has given.
The Assessor always gives us updates and what targets are set for students which is helpful for us to support them.
I would recommend Carousel Training to any employer or student.
