Learning is part of everyday life at The Orange Tree.
From apprenticeships and professional qualifications to leadership development, we support every team member to grow their skills, confidence and career. Alongside online learning and in-house training, our bi-annual training days bring teams together to learn from industry experts and guest speakers.
Because when our team grows, our children flourish too.
Careers grow here - just like the children in our care. Many of our team members begin their journey with us as apprentices or practitioners and progress into leadership roles over time.
Example progression pathway:
→ Apprentice
→ Early Years Practitioner
→ Room Leader
→ Deputy Manager
→ Nursery Manager
Wherever you begin, we’ll support your development and help you take the next step in your early years career.
From apprentices to leaders, hear from the people who help inspire, nurture and grow every day.
