Join Childbase Partnership and be part of something extraordinary.
At Childbase Partnership we have been delivering childcare excellence since 1989. Our mission is to give children the best possible start in life and instil a lifelong passion for learning. Across all 44-day nurseries, Head Office, and our Training Academy of Excellence, our dedicated colleagues work together to create a lasting, positive impact in our local communities.
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).
* Sector leading initiative: “Partnership Reward Days”– going the extra mile to promote a healthy work/life balance for you with up to an extra 20 days paid leave a year, meaning up to a phenomenal 50 days leave, with the option to sell a proportion if you would prefer; the choice is yours!
* ‘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).
At Childbase Partnership, our ethos is simple; we all belong, we all matter, and we all contribute so we all benefit. Our core values foster happiness, confidence, and growth, with a ‘careers not jobs’ approach, shaping the future of our extraordinary company together.
Own your future and join us at our Hertford Barns Day Nursery in Cole Green, Hertford. We are excited to be recruiting for team members who are:
* Passionate about making learning fun; your early years experience enables you to inspire young children to reach their full potential.
* Naturally nurturing; you care about others and their well-being and the children in your care feel happy and safe.
* Advocates for partnership working; you thrive as part of a team environment, and you enjoy building meaningful and respectful relationships with others.
