But we wouldn’t hold you to a standard we don’t aspire to ourselves.

So, what is it about our settings that makes them the absolute best nurseries to work for in the whole of London? Here are some reasons why nursery jobs in London don’t get any better than at All About Children.

Your wellbeing is everything to us

Working in a nursery is a caring job. But for us, it’s not just about looking after the babies, toddlers, preschoolers and parents – we look after our employees too. Happy staff make for a happy setting. Which means that whichever of our London nurseries you choose to work in, you can be sure it’s a workplace that prioritises the wellbeing of its staff every bit as much as the wellbeing of the children.

We pay industry-leading salaries

With the cost of living at an all-time high, many nurseries in London don’t pay enough to make ends meet. At All About Children, with competitive salaries, you’re a crucial valued member of our team from the moment you walk through our doors.

On top of this, we also offer industry-leading financial benefits to support you. If you have children yourself, we offer generous childcare discounts while giving you the chance to bring your child to nursery with you. And each member of our team is given a hot, nutritious meal every day. 

We’re flexible and family friendly

Parenting and work don’t always fit easily together. We get that it’s a juggling act! So we understand that coming back to work after having children, or finding a job that fits in with the rest of your life can be difficult. That’s why, with generous tax-free staff childcare discounts and a great work-life balance, we make it easier for parents to get back to work at All About Children. Our contracts are best if you’re looking for as much flexibility as possible.

You’re welcome to bring your children with you – they’ll be looked after every bit as well as you are. And if you need flexibility, just talk to us, and we’ll do our best to help you fit your nursery role around your family commitments.

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.

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.
