Jess Quigley
Early Years Practitioner Apprenticeship Level 2
2024-current
Nursery Practitioner at Little People at The Limes Nursery
If you are thinking about doing this Early Years Practitioner Apprenticeship, it is beneficial as you are able to learn the practical skills in the work place, whilst achieving a qualification.
Jess has just successfully completed her Early Years Practitioner Level 2 Apprenticeship at Lancaster & Morecambe College, and was awarded the highest grade of Distinction. She is currently employed as a Nursery Practitioner at Little People at the Limes Nursery near Preston, offering quality care and pre-school education for children aged from babies to 5 years old
One of the most enjoyable aspects of the course for Jess has been the ability to continue working while studying, allowing her to feel fully settled in her nursery setting while gaining the experience and knowledge needed to complete her qualification.
A key skill I have developed during my time at LMC is understanding the theory behind my job role, which has helped me to apply this knowledge confidently in my everyday practice in the nursery with the children and my work colleagues.
Studying at LMC has also supported Jess professionally by deepening her understanding of legislation, guidance and child development, all while remaining in her role as a Nursery Practitioner, caring for and educating children aged 2–3.
Her proudest achievement during her time at college is achieving a Distinction in her Level 2 Early Years Practitioner exam, a milestone that reflects her hard work and dedication, and she is planning to progress onto the Early Years Educator Apprenticeship Level 3 which will continue to expand and develop her knowledge of the Childcare industry.

YOUR TUTOR(S)
I was keen to join the fantastic team at LMC and to broaden my horizons after teaching and leading in primary education for many years.
Whether you're confident that you want to be a plumber/gas engineer, think you want to try your hand at it, or have no idea what you want to do - plumbing or gas work is an excellent asset for anyone to have. They're both great career options, loved by foreign countries if you're looking to travel, or at the very least will save you some money on a plumber in the future no matter what you end up doing!
If you are interested in working with animals, this is a great course for you! As not only do you gain the knowledge and practical skills to work with animals, but you also gain the employability skills to be able to work in teams and work within the industry. It's important to remember that jobs in the animal industry are not just about working with animals, you need to have the skills to deal with people too!
Come and join us here as LMC! You’ll gain new skills, use industry standard equipment, be taught by a dedicated team of specialists who are passionate about educating you to a higher skills level, so that you can gain an Apprenticeship or full time employment.
My favourite part of my job is helping people achieve their GCSE English, a key qualification which will open doors for them in the future.
My favourite part of the role is guiding my students through the more practical aspects of Forensic Science, especially latent fingerprint collection and evidence handling. I enjoy watching them develop their confidence and skills in these techniques
