We are Tommies Childcare. Since 1998, we have provided exciting and memorable early years experiences for children aged 0 - 5 years.
We are looking for Early Years Practitioners and Educators who can demonstrate their creativity and compassion in their approach to delivering early education and care for young children.
What do we look for?
When you work at Tommies, you'll be doing one of the most important jobs in the world: nurturing, protecting and helping children grow into well-balanced, happy and self-assured adults.
Practitioners and educators at Tommies understand the value of following the child's lead and placing their own interests at the heart of everything they do.
You'll be supporting children's learning "in the moment", which means you'll need to think on your feet and create activities that meet the requirements of the EYFS based on what you know the children enjoy doing.
What we can do for you
You bring the enthusiasm and skills to succeed, and we'll offer you a place in an organisation that truly values you and the work you do.
You'll have the opportunity to make your voice heard through the annual 'b-Heard' survey. This independent employee engagement survey gives you the platform to tell us what it's like to be a valued member of the Tommies team.
Every year since 2019, the results of our surveys have placed us in the official Best Companies to Work For lists. That's because, for us, phrases like 'we support employee wellbeing and staff welfare' aren't just soundbites. They are core principles here at Tommies.
An extraordinary place to work, with extraordinary benefits
As well as a competitive salary, you'll receive an exceptional benefits package. All Tommies team members receive a minimum of:
- 20 days annual leave plus bank holidays (increasing up to 25 days through length of service)
- Earn up to 4 days additional annual leave per year through good attendance
- 30% childcare discount (increasing to 40% for Deputy Managers, and 50% for Nursery Managers)
- 10% friends & family childcare discount
- 8 hours per year to attend appointments or events that support your wellbeing
- 6 weeks full maternity pay (increasing to 6 weeks full maternity pay + 6 weeks half maternity pay for Deputy Managers and Nursery Managers)
- Special rewards for Good and Outstanding Ofsted gradings
- An annual awards ceremony, and
- Plenty of training and development opportunities
Just as important...
While we're serious about childcare, we also encourage our people to have fun. We want you to take pride and enjoy working with us in our caring and nurturing settings. After all, if you're happy, the children will be happy.
We are a tight-knit team, and if you want to spread your wings in the Tommies group, you'll have the opportunity to work at our other nurseries from time to time.
We want everyone who works with us to feel valued and to make a difference.
