We believe great people deserve great perks. When you join us, you’ll enjoy:
- Your birthday off
- Free uniform
- Complimentary meals when dining with the children
- 50% childcare discount for your first child
- Christmas closure – you’ll never work between Christmas and New Year
- All bank holidays off
- 28 days annual leave
- A strict no lone‑working policy so you’re always supported
- Clear progression routes, with internal promotion wherever possible
- Extensive training and CPD, helping you grow your career
- Time back for meetings, training or events held outside nursery hours
We offer a competitive salary based on qualifications and experience, alongside a supportive, friendly team environment.
