We put people before profit: work for a family of nurseries with heart


"You never feel alone at LEYF - there's always someone to turn to." - Selamawit, Nursery Manager


We're the London Early Years Foundation, or LEYF Nurseries for short; a family of 40 nurseries. Our people love working for us because we focus on the child and their family, and give them the best start in life.

LEYF is known for quality teachers - we give you strong in-house training and access to promotion. Our nurseries feel independent and community focused, and teams take care of each other. You join a family of nurseries with a great support network.

A bit about the role

"I have received a great deal of support, recognition and training, always having someone I can talk to." - Marta, Nursery Manager

We know you work in Early Years because you love helping children develop and learn. You are warm and keen to give children the best education to succeed in life.

This will involve helping support the team, as well as helping with nursery finances, staffing, health and safety, partnering with parents, and ensuring the quality of the curriculum.

Every nursery shares LEYF's unique teaching model. But you will have the freedom to be creative to suit how the children learn best. Whether you hop on a train to the Science Museum, take a bus to make friends at a nearby LEYF nursery, or bake with your nursery chef, it's always about the children in our nurseries.


You will need:

The right to work in the UK

Team leadership and strong relationship building skill

Level 3 or above childcare qualification

Good ideas on how to maintain high quality and ratio bound environments

An ability to safeguard and protect children

To be reliable, positive and friendly
