Do you want to join a nursery that looks after its staff?
Although a level 3 qualification in early years is desirable, we are more interested in people with a positive, can-do attitude and a real enthusiasm for working with children.
You will be joining a happy, harmonious team at a thriving family run nursery. We have a great partnership with our parents which genuinely makes them a joy to work with.
Your wellbeing is very important, you cannot function well at work if you are not feeling positive and appreciated. Katie Aldous is our staff wellbeing first aider; you can discuss any issues you are having with her or with a staff wellbeing representative. The staff wellbeing group meet regularly to discuss any issues raised by staff and find ways to improve wellbeing throughout the business. We monitor staff stress levels through a weekly stress app which you are encouraged to use to let the senior management team know how you are feeling - good or bad. We also carry out staff surveys which allows us to monitor stress levels across a range of issues and identify where action is needed.
All members of staff can access support for work-related and personal issues on just about any topic from Health Assured, one of the UK's best and biggest providers of support, advice and counselling for employees. You can also access Wisdom, a wellbeing portal, where you can try offerings related to meditation, mindfulness, working out, brain training, healthy eating, sleep, public speaking etc. Our subscription to Health Assured's service means that staff, their partners, their children (16-24 still in full time education), all qualify for free help any time it's needed including:
