Childcare Bootcamp Renfrewshire – Marvellous

Updated: 12/08/2026

When Marvellous joined us, she was between two career possibility. She was deciding between studying music at college and pursuing a career in childcare, so one of our main focuses was helping her understand what a career in childcare could look like. Throughout programme we worked on building her employability skills, confidence level and knowledge of the childcare sector.

“I now have a Paediatric First Aid qualification and have been trained in Safeguarding and Child Protection and Food Hygiene ready to start work”

We also supported her to understand what a Modern Apprenticeships actually is and helped her understand that she could work, gain valuable experience and work towards her Level 7 SCQF qualification at the same time rather than going straight into college!

“I have better transferable skills now and have now got work experience in the Childcare sector”

As part of Childcare Bootcamp Marvellous gained work experience in a local nursery, she put her all into it, took feedback on board and learnt lots along the way. It was amazing watching her confidence grow day by day!

She then had the opportunity to interview with a local Modern Apprenticeship provider, and after all her hard work she successful gained MA! Marvellous has now started her apprenticeship and has already started working on her first unit!
