Why Join Our Work Family?

When All About Children was established in 2010, we started out with the belief that nothing was more important than delivering outstanding outcomes for children. We can’t do this without you, our staff. That’s why we want people who share this belief to join our work family. At every All About Children nursery, you’ll find a caring and passionate team empowered to do what they love most – providing the best possible care and early years education to children and their families.

Here are just a few of the reasons why people join the All About Children work family:

Our work family is filled with talented individuals, passionate about what they do and keen to take advantage of the opportunities we present to them to train and develop, allowing them to fulfil their potential.

If you’re passionate about childcare and are looking to take on a new challenge, we have a number of rewarding opportunities that could be perfect for you.

“Full support from all staff; teamwork every step of the way and a real ‘family’ feeling.”

The Perfect Work-Life Balance

We know that many of our team have caring responsibilities outside of work and a supportive employer makes all the difference. If you need to work flexible hours, we have opportunities available that allow you to work part-time and look after your own children, or elderly relatives, whilst having a rewarding career.

We are a company that cares about all our staff. For instance, we ensure support is provided to them whenever they need it and sick pay if required.

We have a number of exciting full-time and part-time childcare opportunities as well as childcare apprenticeships available.

Discounted Childcare

Take advantage of our substantially discounted childcare for staff at our nurseries – saving you money and making juggling work and home a doddle when you can take your child to work.

Training and Development to Help you Grow

At All About Children, we believe in empowering all of our team members to excel in their jobs, and so, we provide the necessary tools and support in order to ensure that they achieve their full potential. That’s why training is a key part of life for staff at our nurseries. Our teams upskill whilst learning to support our teams in ensuring that our nurseries are a fun and safe environment to work in. In each of our roles, you will receive:

  • Inclusion Training
  • Safeguarding Training
  • Supporting Children’s Behaviour (Behaviour Management)
  • Health and Safety Training
  • First Aid (every 3 years)

Staff are also given free access to three online early years courses, provided by the Childcare Company. At All About Children, we want our staff to have full control over what they want to get out of their role. Therefore, staff work closely with their manager to select one course to support their career progression and then select an additional two courses of their choice.

A Place Where Fun Is Guaranteed – We Work Hard but we also Play Hard!

It’s not all about work at All About Children. We love to get together socially outside of work and also get involved in activities in the local community.

From water rafting races with the childrens’ parents to celebrating World Book Day, there’s always something fun for our staff to get involved in.

Silchester Manor is a great place to work. I have been here almost a year and have learnt so much. I enjoy coming into work every day and spending time with the children and staff. It has given me a passion to better myself in this area and hopefully start level 3 in childcare.

Sophie Baird – Lunch Cover

I find it hard to believe that I joined as an apprentice and now I’m a room leader.

Sydney – The Little People, Room Leader

I started off at college and quickly realized I wanted to explore more of the practical day to day side of childcare, so I opted for an apprenticeship. I started and have never looked back. I found the course very informative and it gave me exactly what I wanted which was to work with children.

Katie – The Little People, Apprentice, now Practitioner

I am so glad I undertook the apprenticeship; it has really given me an opportunity to have hands on experiences, learn about every aspect of childcare and has given me a way to put my knowledge that I’m learning into practice. I have a wonderful support network at The Little People.

Elsa – The Little People, Apprentice

I love working here, the team are wonderful role models and I really enjoy my day to day duties.

Katie – The Little People, Apprentice

I have been with Daybreak for almost 9 years, and I have learnt a great deal about the children’s development and I have been inspired so much from my current management team to work up to the position of Room Leader. Since All About Children have taken over, they have continued to support me with my progression and influenced me with their passion and enthusiasm.

Sarah Brend – Senior/Room Leader

I recently completed my level 2 in Childcare and I always wanted to train for my level 3. All About Children provided me with the opportunity to complete this training within the support of my team at Amersham Chiltern Avenue as well as support from my Area Maut Children.

Katie Cyster – Trainee Level 3

I knew I wanted to work in childcare and heard about apprenticeships, I wasn’t sure where to apply so put out a post on Facebook which Emma the Deputy responded to, she asked me to send in my CV which I did. Emma and the Manager interviewed me and gave me the opportunity to work as a temporary staff member to see if this was something I wanted to do. From the moment I started I knew this was a career I wanted to pursue. Since starting my apprenticeship here at Park Road I have grown in confidence and developed my knowledge through experience, guidance and support from all the team.

Connor – Apprentice Park Road

I was working at an After School Club and wanted to further my career so I applied at Park Road and was given the opportunity to gain a qualification in childcare whilst working as a Nursery Assistant. During this time I have developed my skills, I have learnt how to be a key carer, carry out observations, plan to meet the children's next steps and develop my knowledge of the EYFS and the Curiosity Approach. This isn't just a job I feel valued and part of a team.
