About the Benefits

Up to 25% annual salary bonus
Up to 33 days holiday inlusive of bank holidays
Your birthday off – our gift to you!
50% Childcare discount
Full central support (HR, Recruitment, Quality, Safety etc)
Access to high quality training and leadership development
Clear progression pathways into area management and wider operational roles
Enhanced family leave & return to work bonus
Menopause & Mental health support, financial wellbeing tools, and a 24/7 Employee assistance programme
Cycle to work scheme & easy access pension plan
Discounted Private Medical insurance
Opportunities to travel internationally and explore best practise in early years with our Global Talent exchange programme.
