We are determined to be excellent and constantly strive for the best outcomes, not only for the children in our care but for every colleague too. What makes us special? • We are 100% employee-owned – which means we are all partners, we all have a meaningful voice, and we own our future (this includes sharing profits too, tax-free). • ‘Number 1’ - we have earned the top spot in the prestigious Nursery World league tables for our Ofsted outcomes, all thanks to our extraordinary colleagues. • Record-breaking Green Flag achievements, and climate-positive status - we save more CO2 than we create (take that, climate change!). • Planting in excess of 2,000 trees in the Eden Restoration project - because the planet needs a hug too. • Over £3.5 million raised for charity – we’re basically fundraising superheroes (without the capes).Working Hours :This is a full-time role, and you will work 37.5 hours a week throughout your apprenticeship.
