Whether you need additional flexibility to spend time with your family, to study or for any other reason – we want to support it and, in doing so, support your wellbeing. Introducing n.Flex.

We want to attract and keep the best team in the sector, which is why we have a series of other flexible options to suit everyone.
So whether it’s a 4-day week, part-time, a few hours a day or a fully flexible day-to-day option you’re looking for, we’re here to support it. We’ve also recently launched our Over 50s Apprenticeships, to better support career changers and returners back into the Early Years sector.

If you decide that you’d like to do occasional overtime on top of this, you are able to at your usual hourly rate (just check our overtime policy).
We support part time requests across all roles, and these are payable at exactly the the same hourly rate as if you were working full time.
