Why work with us

A workplace that feels like home.

We're not a chain. We're a small, family-feel nursery that's been part of Sinfin for over 20 years — and we look after each other every bit as much as we look after the children.

Real team feel

Small, close-knit and supportive — you'll know everyone's name from day one. No corporate, no chain-nursery feel.

Work that matters

Watch the children you care for grow, learn and light up — every single day. There's nothing more rewarding.

Stability you can trust

Established in 2002 and proudly independent — we've built deep roots in the Sinfin community and we're not going anywhere.

Grow with us

A supportive working environment that helps you build skills, take on more responsibility, and develop your career in early years.

How to apply

From "I'm interested" to your first day — three simple steps.

No CV black holes, no impersonal portals. We read every application and reply to every applicant.

Recruitment FAQs.

Do I need an early years qualification? +
Most of our nursery nurse roles need a recognised Level 2 or Level 3 early years qualification. If you're not sure whether yours qualifies, get in touch — we're happy to take a look.
What hours can I work? +
We're open Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 6:00pm. We try to be flexible around the right person — full-time, part-time and term-time-only options are worth a conversation.
How long does the application take? +
The form takes around 5 minutes. We aim to come back to you within one working week — and we reply to everyone, even if it's not a fit this time.
Can I visit before I apply? +
Absolutely. If you'd like to pop in for a tour or a quick chat before applying, give us a call on 01332 770 167 — we'd love to show you around.
Do you support training and development? +
Yes — we believe great early-years staff never stop learning. We support our team with ongoing training, professional development and the chance to grow into more senior roles over time.
Are you only hiring Nursery Nurses? +
Right now, that's our main vacancy — but we're a small team and roles come up. If you're a great fit for early years and looking for a new home, fill out our application form anyway and we'll keep you in mind.
