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

"LEYF has helped my career through on-going training and support." - Caroline, Early Years Practitioner

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?

• Lots of training, promotions and a good salary for the sector
• Generous pension at 7% from us (1% from you)
• 70% discount on childcare fees
• 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)
• Sector-leading parental leave
• Many other benefits that take care of you, including access to the Wellbeingapp, shopping discounts, annual conference and money for team celebrations

A bit about the role

"We are friends, we are like family. We support one another." - Elizabeth, Early Years Practitioner

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.

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
• An ability to safeguard and protect children
• To be positive, adaptable and friendly

About the nursery

We're a spacious, modern setting situated in a new development in Barking, close to the River Thames and Barking underground and railway station.
