Gill Mason, Head of Training and Development, said:

“At Kids Planet, we have worked incredibly hard to develop a comprehensive programme for our apprentices to learn, develop and grow at Kids Planet and this recognition is testament to its success.

We want people to see early years as a career with clear development and progression routes and we are passionate about raising and professionalising the early years workforce at all levels.

Apprenticeships are a productive and effective way to nurture talent and develop a motivated, skilled and qualified workforce, and have really helped us to achieve our aims.

Kids Planet strives to provide a quality programme that offers people a lifelong career within the early years sector and highlights our ongoing commitment to diversity, which ensures we continue to attract the best people.”

This achievement marks a real celebration of the commitment that the countries leading employers have made to employ apprentices in 2022. Congratulations to all involved.
