I’m going to be completely honest—our nursery was struggling with rising wage costs, and we were at risk of closing. We needed apprentices fast, so we reached out to ATS Childcare because they had a big network across Scotland. It took them about 5 days to find an apprentice. We’ve had apprentices before, but they didn’t stay long, so I was sceptical. Knowing ATS Childcare has their own vetting process gave me confidence, and I’m so glad we gave it another shot. The apprentices they sent were ready to hit the ground running, which was a huge relief.

​

The extra perks, like free First Aid training and access to CPD courses through Hubba Training, have been a massive bonus. It’s allowed us to upskill staff without spending anything extra. Thanks to ATS Childcare, we’ve kept our nursery running and continued giving the children the care they deserve. I’d 100% recommend them to any nursery looking for reliable apprentices and a hassle-free process.

As the manager of a 100+ place nursery in Glasgow, we were struggling to find a training provider who could meet our needs. We needed 8 apprentices, and no one else could deliver. Then we found ATS Childcare, and within two weeks, they had 8 motivated, local apprentices ready to go.

​

Their team handled everything. Recruitment, marketing, and support, so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. The apprentices were prepared and eager to contribute from day one, and the monthly assessor visits kept everything running smoothly.

​

On top of that, they gave us free first aid training and access to online courses. We’ve saved over £2000 with the extras and used it to improve our outdoor garden.

I’d give this company 5 stars any day and we look forward to continuing working together.

Auchinbee Children's Nursery

We’ve always worked with the same apprentice provider for years, and every year we ended up paying all sorts of fees—extra charges for training programmes, top-ups, and who knows what else. Honestly, we thought that was just how it worked.

​

Then Steven from ATS Childcare got in touch and told us about their company. At first, we thought it sounded too good to be true—no fees at all? But we decided to give it a go, and I’m so glad we did. It turns out there really are no fees! They’re fully funded by Skills Development Scotland, which honestly made us wonder what we’ve been paying other providers for all these years.

 

On top of that, ATS Childcare have given us free online training and first aid courses for our staff, and they’ve even mentioned that more perks are coming. It’s been such a refreshing change working with them.

I’m not usually one to leave reviews, but ATS Childcare have been a huge help for us. We’d had a bad experience with another provider (I won’t name names) where an apprentice joined and left within a month. At the time, we were desperate for lunch cover and had been relying on agency staff, paying ridiculous fees.

 

That’s when we decided to approach ATS Childcare. Within a week, they matched us with an apprentice, and it’s been smooth sailing ever since.

Their assessors visit once a month, so there’s no hassle, and the apprentice they placed with us has been fantastic. Lauren our apprentice is hardworking, enthusiastic, and genuinely loves her job.

​

I’d definitely recommend ATS Childcare to anyone looking for reliable apprentices without the stress.
