Employer Description:

At Leicester College we understand the importance nursery care plays in a child’s life. We care for children in a manner that is relaxed, friendly, stimulating and inspiring, providing them with the confidence to grow and learn at their own pace, in an environment that is safe, with people they can trust. We also believe children get the most from their time in a nursery if the people looking after them are motivated, enthusiastic and happy. As part of Leicester College, we are committed to continuous improvement through the development of our staff. Allocation of places is on a first come first served basis although parents who are students or employees of Leicester college will be given priority. Available places depend on your child’s age and sessions required. We usually have a waiting list and application does not guarantee a place until we confirm it. Waiting list applications will need to be kept updated by the applicant to ensure contact details are current. Careful consideration is also given to children who are disabled or have any additional learning needs or particular requirements, and learners experiencing great difficulties with childcare.
