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?

“LEYF gave me the confidence and the teaching to go further in my job.” ‒ Victoria, Room Leader

• Lots of training, promotions and a good salary for the sector
• Flexible working contract choices – subject to local need
• 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 well-being app, 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.

About the nursery

"I like the teamwork here. They've given me a lot of skills to help develop my career." - Estefania, Early Years Assistant

If you're a natural with children and want to find out if childcare is for you, this could be a great next step.

You'll support the nursery team in supervising fun activities, caring for the children and keeping them safe and happy.

As part of the team, you might take the children on a train to the Science Museum, hop on a bus to make friends at a nearby LEYF nursery, or join in baking sessions with the children and your nursery chef.

While entry qualifications aren't necessary, if you want to learn more, we can help you get the training you need. Whether this is your first step into work or you're looking for a career change, age is no barrier.

You will need:

• The right to work in the UK
• An ability to safeguard and protect children
