How Montessori Apprentice Academy Supports Early Years Settings

Resources

We understand that when it comes to Early Years education, it’s not just about training individuals; it’s about uplifting entire teams. That’s why our approach to training is built on a three-way partnership between the learner, the employer, and the training provider.

Whether you run a Montessori nursery or a traditional Early Years setting, our mission is to Shape the Future of Early Years, one apprentice at a time.

A Shared Mission: Supporting Quality in Early Years

In today’s early years landscape, quality training is more than a tick-box exercise. At MAA, we’re driven by a belief that outstanding training benefits everyone: the child, the educator, and the setting as a whole.

That’s why our support extends beyond just teaching learners, we actively help settings create an environment where staff can grow, stay motivated, and feel truly valued.

The Three-Way Partnership: Learner, Employer & Training Provider

Development doesn’t happen in a vacuum. That’s why we treat it as a collaboration between the learner, the nursery, and ourselves.

We keep lines of communication open throughout the journey, ensuring that managers are informed, learners are supported, and everyone works towards the same goal. You’ll never feel like you’re “handing your apprentice off” you’ll feel like you’ve gained a partner.

Ongoing Employer Support: What We Provide for Nurseries

We know what life in a nursery looks like; The busy mornings, the staffing challenges, the never-ending to-do list. That’s why our support is designed to fit into your day, not add to your stress.

Here’s how we support Early Years settings:

Whether you’re brand new to apprenticeships or have a full team of learners already, we’re here to make the process smooth, simple, and rewarding.

Building Confidence in Staff, Reducing Turnover

We often hear nursery managers say, “We just want staff who stay.” We understand; recruitment is challenging, and retention is even more difficult.

That’s where we come in. By investing in staff through high-quality training, you’re not just building their skills, you’re showing them that they matter. Research shows that retention rates rise 30-50% for companies with strong learning cultures.

Our programmes offer a clear progression route, helping learners develop from assistants into confident educators and future leaders. That kind of growth and development is good for morale, good for retention, and great for your setting.
