We put people before profit: work for a family of nurseries with heart

"You never feel alone at LEYF - there's always someone to turn to." - Selamawit, Nursery Manager

We're the London Early Years Foundation, or LEYF Nurseries for short; a family of 40 nurseries. Our people love working for us because we focus on the child and their family, and give them the best start in life.

LEYF is known for quality teachers - we give you strong in-house training and access to promotion. Our nurseries feel independent and community focused, and teams take care of each other. You join a family of nurseries with a great support network.

What's in it for you?

"I wanted more job satisfaction, so I came back to LEYF." - Sunita, Nursery Manager

• Lots of training, promotions and a good salary for the sector
• Generous pension at 7% from us (1% from you)

• Up to 35 days off a year, including 8 bank holidays, 3 days off between Christmas and New Year, and your birthday (pro-rated for part-time hours)

A Bit About The Role

"I have received a great deal of support, recognition and training, always having someone I can talk to." - Marta, Nursery Manager

We know you work in Early Years because you love helping children develop and learn. You are warm and keen to give children the best education to succeed in life.

You'll have lots of time creating fun activities for children, but you'll also support the Nursery Manager in the smooth running of the nursery. This will involve helping support the team, as well as helping with nursery finances, staffing, health and safety, partnering with parents, and ensuring the quality of the curriculum.

Every nursery shares LEYF's unique teaching model. But you will have the freedom to be creative to suit how the children learn best. Whether you hop on a train to the Science Museum, take a bus to make friends at a nearby LEYF nursery, or bake with your nursery chef, it's always about the children in our nurseries.

You Will Need:

• The right to work in the UK
• Team leadership and strong relationship building skill
• Level 3 or above childcare qualification
• Good ideas on how to maintain high quality and ratio bound environments
• An ability to safeguard and protect children
• To be reliable, positive and friendly
  
  

About The Nursery

Thames Reach Nursery and Pre-School provides Early Years education and care to children from birth to 5 years old.

Our new purpose-built LEYF nursery opened in early in 2023. This new addition to our family of nurseries across London is our second nursery in Greenwich and is particularly special as this is the first time we are designing and building a LEYF nursery from scratch. Based in The Reach building, opposite Thames Mead Health Centre, Thames Reach Nursery and Pre-School is well served by local transport links and is a 15-minute walk from Plumstead Station, and 8 mins by bus from Woolwich Station. The nurturing garden will presents opportunities for outdoor learning for the children. LEYF is partnering with landlords Peabody and their community foundation team to open our doors to enrich children's learning in Thamesmead.
