20 Sep Leonie completes apprenticeship
Leonie Buttner is Baldersby Park Montessori Nursery’s first-ever apprentice, having joined in April 2021, and she recently completed her Level 3 in Childcare.
The 22-year-old originally hails from Germany but moved to the UK in August 2019 to become an au-pair and ‘improve my English”.
It would be an understatement to say Leonie’s English is impeccable and she is an important part of the team who works in our Caterpillars room for under-twos.
Having achieved her Level 3, Leonie says she would ideally like to reach Level 5 and beyond.
She says: “I always liked to babysitter when I was at home in Germany so childcare as a profession always seemed a logical thing for me to do.
“I have learned a lot at Baldersby Park, and everyone has been really nice and welcoming to me.
“The children at this age are just developing their personalities and characters and gaining in confidence every day they are here, so it’s a nice room to work in.”
Outside of work, Leonie enjoys spending time with her boyfriend, camping, and walking. They are National Trust members so like to visit historical sites of interest.
