About the Employer

Our purpose built nursery has been beautifully rebuilt to create a modern, spacious, homely environment that supports children’s development from babies to preschool.

What You’ll Do

At Grandir, our mission is to inspire children to grow into happy, smart, and healthy individuals who thrive. We believe that exceptional childcare and education are achieved when children and families are genuinely placed at the heart of everything we do.

As a Nursery Apprentice, you will be expected to provide the highest standard of care and education while gaining hands‑on experience in a high-quality childcare setting and working towards recognised childcare qualifications. Your responsibilities will include identifying and meeting each child’s individual needs, supervising and supporting them throughout the day, and engaging in a variety of interactive activities such as reading stories, helping at mealtimes, playing games, and changing nappies.

You will act as a positive and practical role model, build friendly and professional relationships with staff and parents, and ensure you fully understand and follow safeguarding procedures.

In return, we offer a wide range of benefits including access to an employee benefits portal with discounts at hundreds of high street stores, a staff referral scheme with cash rewards, heavily discounted childcare, a dedicated ‘Wellbeing Day’ just for you, 24/7 remote GP appointments with home-delivered prescriptions, and a healthcare cashback plan covering treatments such as dental care and physiotherapy. We also celebrate our team through initiatives like ‘May I Say Thank You’ month, which includes an all-expenses-paid awards ceremony, reward points that can be converted into cash, and additional paid holiday during the Christmas closure to enjoy with your loved ones.
