Third In Charge

Our people are what make our family great. We see childcare as a profession, not just a job. So whatever level you are at in your childcare career, we'll always encourage you to take on new opportunities and challenges - we want our teams to be the best!

Must be at least Level 3 qualified in a UK recognised early years qualification.

Excellent understanding of EYFS.

Extensive knowledge of safeguarding.

Leadership experience within a nursery setting.

Whilst all our settings are different, they all share the same values and ethos; working together to inspire your world. Children are at the heart of everything we do, so we are looking for individuals to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in. From a princess one day to astronaut the next, no two days are ever the same!
