Childbase Partnership

About Us

Fun is an essential ingredient in all Childbase Partnership nurseries where the care and education opportunities for each and every child are as extraordinary as our colleagues who provide them.

Rated ‘world class’ by Best Companies (2021), the employee-owned Childbase Partnership has been listed as a ‘UK Top Company to Work For’ for 14 years.

Our success is rooted in a commitment to the individual, professionally and personally, because we have proven that employee well-being, engagement and retention is critical to consistently high provision.

What it’s like to work for us?

Every colleague in our company is a co-owner, which means they contribute to more than just the lives of the children in our nurseries, they contribute to various aspects of the company as a whole.

Working under the banner “We all contribute, we all benefit”, Childbase Partnership employee owners have easy access to all company information and a voice individually and collectively through the 45-member, elected Partnership Council. Councillors, one from each nursery and Head Office, meet quarterly and are regular and valued contributors at main Board meetings.

Our colleagues also share in the financial success of our company and share equal tax-free Dividend Payments annually when the company has a successful year. In 2021 colleagues were paid up to £1500 and in 2022 colleagues received up to £3000 subject to NI deductions and based on hours worked within the year.
