A catering apprenticeship for young people working in nurseries has
been launched by the UK's largest chain, Busy Bees.

The company is recruiting through June, July and August to fill 105 places for its Level 2 Intermediate Apprenticeship in Catering and Professional Chefs.

The 14-month course, targeted at 16-year-old school leavers, has been tailored specifically to meet the dietary requirements of young children, and includes topics such as planning meals to help a weaning child and contributing to the healthy development of children.

It is designed for people who want to work as a school or nursery cook or a kitchen assistant, and contains two NVQ Level 2 courses within it: the Diploma in Food Production and Cooking and the Certificate in Hospitality and Catering Principles.
