What it’s like to work for us?

Starting at a new nursery can be a daunting prospect, for staff as much as children! We provide the support you need to make the transition a smooth one with competitive salaries, ongoing training and development, beautiful locations to work in and a full induction process to ensure you have the best start with us.

Our nurseries include:

Hopes and Dreams Montessori - Nurseries in Angel and Old Street with a contemporary feel and Montessori ethos. These settings provide care for children all year round and are conveniently located close to local tube stations.

Miss Daisy's - Central London nursery schools with en emphasis on wellbeing, mindfulness and connection to the natural world. These term-time only settings are a beautiful career option supporting children aged 2-5.

The Kindergartens - Nursery schools in West and South West London. The approach here is very much about readiness for school with a broad curriculum and the desire to equip children with a lifelong love of learning. All of our ten The Kindergartens settings are rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted.

Riverside - Nurseries in Twickenham and Richmond with an emphasis on the outdoors and sustainability. These settings are undoing extensive refurbishment and are a great place to start your career with us! Here we pride ourselves on giving parents options when choosing child-care, from Montessori settings to term-time only nursery schools, parents and children can adapt with us as they grow.

Reflections - Nursery and Forest School in Worthing. Heavily inspired by the Forest School and Reggio Emilia approach to early years, this beautiful nursery and small school is about giving children the best possible start and encouraging them to explore the curriculum for themselves, whilst facilitating confidence building and mindfulness.
