Why work at Cherubs Nurseries?

You know the value of early years - and so do we. If you're a Qualified Early Years Educator ready to bring energy, creativity, and care to every day, we'd love to have you on our team.

Established in 1993, Cherubs Nurseries is a family-run business on a mission to give all children the personalities, skills and experiences they need to take on the world, without limitations. Central to our approach (inspired by Montessori, Hygge, Reggio and Forest School) is our Community Life work which aims to make the communities we serve better places to live, work and grow up in. From annual fundraising events to community clean ups and a robust Sustainability Action Plan.

We know it takes a village to raise a child and we want our nurseries to be reflective of our communities. We champion diversity in the early years sector and are driven to bring more men into early years, supporting MITEY to achieve a mixed-gender early years workforce.

• Committed to taking people where they want to go - from personalised professional development pathways to continuous internal training.
