Chamber Training
Making a Difference to Children’s Care and Education Apprenticeships through Coventry & Warwickshire Chamber Training have proven to be a successful pathway for two brothers, Joel and Daniel Silber, whose careers in children’s care and education are going from strength to strength at Beatle Woods Ltd, an outdoor nursery, situated in a 10-acre woodland site in Balsall Common.
Joel Silber achieved his apprenticeship at level 2, before progressing to advanced learning at level 3 (early years educator) which he is on track to successfully complete. Joel’s brother, Daniel Silber, is following in his brother’s footsteps taking up an apprenticeship in children’s care and education (early years practitioner) in the midst of the pandemic in 2020. The brothers are truly inspirational role models, demonstrating excellent skills and knowledge of their profession. As a leading provider of apprenticeships and business to business training courses, Chamber Training has a strong track record of working in partnership with employers to design and deliver apprenticeships that meet their specific requirements. Commenting on Joel and Daniel’s success, Rachel Macbeth-Webb, Founder and Manager of Beatle Woods said: “Our first truly outdoor nursery in the West Midlands was set up in
Commenting on his progress, Joel remarked: “The team at Chamber Training have been so supportive and approachable. Gill has regularly helped me to address and deal with challenges. I am really thankful for the guidance and advice I have received.”
“Our first ever apprentice, Joel, applied for an apprenticeship position with us in 2019 and the team at Chamber Training provided him with the right guidance and support to enable him to excel on his apprenticeship. Daniel then joined us in September 2020, after originally looking at a teaching assistant, but he realised his passion and also embarked on the early years practitioner apprenticeship.

2017 to provide care for children aged from 2 to 5 years old and it has grown from an initial group of 5 staff to 16. The children spend all day outside, engaging in activities of their choice. We do not plan ahead or structure our days as we believe children learn best when they feel a sense of autonomy and are empowered to then develop resilience, high levels of self-esteem and independence. “Working in partnership with Chamber Training has proven to be an extension of ethos of Beatle Woods. Gill Dickson, our Training Adviser at Chamber Training, has provided us with a dedicated and personalised one-to-one support programme. She has helped us create solutions to any challenges we have encountered.
Daniel added: “I really enjoyed working four days at the nursery and one day off-the-job training at Chamber Training. It has offered a nice working balance and I am able to come up with new, inspiring ideas each week, which helps me in my job.”
“Having a male perspective in the nursery works extremely well and the children love them. They both offer a unique approach to child care that works extremely well. We currently have four apprentices with Chamber Training and we look forward to continuing our partnership with them.”
Gill Dickson from Chamber Training concluded: “We are delighted to have worked with Joel and Daniel. They have shown a natural ability when working with children and we are pleased to have been part of their career success. We are currently working with a number of nurseries and children’s care settings to provide relevant, tailored and structured learning pathways to support businesses to develop qualified staff. If you’re looking to recruit an apprentice or train your existing staff, we can help you on that journey.” For further information about Chamber Training’s Apprenticeship Programme, call 024 7623 1122 or enquiries@cw-chambertraining.co.uk View Beatle Woods’ video on YouTube https://youtu.be/8Yv5_4ploCk
Two apprentices, Daniel and Joel Silber from Beatle Woods.
Coventry City of Culture Two-tone hair competition The apprentices were challenged to explore two-tone, its influence on music, fashion, politics and culture, and create a total look for the skills competition. Jayne Powell, Trainer at Chamber Training, remarked: “Our apprentices were exposed to working under pressure with strict time scales when styling the hair. They had to plan their look creating a mood board and ensure they had all tools, products and equipment. To celebrate Coventry as the City of Culture 2021, Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber Training’s hairdressing apprentices have tested their skills as part of a celebration of Coventry’s rich musical heritage, two-tone.
“The work of a hairdresser during a competition is very different to working in a salon. Different techniques may be required, depending on the style and theme of the event and the apprentices had to research the era, explore the key influences and culture in order to create their version of two-tone style.”
