We are Tommies Childcare. Since 1998, we have provided exciting and memorable early years experiences for children aged 0 - 5 years.

We are looking for Early Years Practitioners and Educators who can demonstrate their creativity and compassion in their approach to delivering early education and care for young children.

What do we look for? When you work at Tommies, you'll be doing one of the most important jobs in the world: nurturing, protecting and helping children grow into well-balanced, happy and self-assured adults.

Practitioners and educators at Tommies understand the value of following the child's lead and placing their own interests at the heart of everything they do. You'll be supporting children's learning "in the moment", which means you'll need to think on your feet and create activities that meet the requirements of the EYFS based on what you know the children enjoy doing.

What we can do for you You bring the enthusiasm and skills to succeed, and we'll offer you a place in an organisation that truly values you and the work you do. You'll have the opportunity to make your voice heard through the annual 'b-Heard' survey. This independent employee engagement survey gives you the platform to tell us what it's like to be a valued member of the Tommies team. Since 2019, the results of our surveys have placed us in the official Best Companies to Work For lists. That's because phrases like 'we support employee wellbeing and staff welfare' aren't just soundbites. They are core principles here at Tommies.

• 20 days annual leave plus bank holidays (increasing up to 25 days with length of service)
• Up to 4 days additional annual leave per year through good attendance
