We don’t acquire existing nurseries, so each of our settings is Fennies through and through, from our exceptional culture to our bespoke rooms. From day one, you’ll be supported by our tailored induction, and you’ll be given every opportunity to grow and develop in your career with guidance from the Fennies Academy.

Apply today to join our prestigious, family-run, award-winning nursery group.

As an Early Years Educator (Level 2/3), you’ll encourage your key children and build bonds with them and their families every day.

You’ll effectively implement your knowledge of birth to 5 and assess the development of your key children. You’ll actively support the Room Leader and role model best practices to unqualified team members. At Fennies, you’ll be supported to take the next steps in your journey and become your best self.

We’re the best at …

  • Onboarding staff correctly in a paid induction to ensure you feel confident and supported from day one of your career at Fennies
  • Communicating within our teams in regular meetings to give and receive feedback, mentor and ensure we are succeeding together
  • Prioritising your well-being by offering monthly events that help you progress in your life outside of Fennies, learn to mix cocktails, get advice on mortgages or try a meditation class
  • Providing new facilities to create an engaging environment for children to learn and for you to inspire young learners
  • Offering you encouragement and development to grow in your career with the help of our internal Academy Team. Do you want to become a Room Leader? A Third in Charge? Or a Nursery Manager? We’ll help you get there

We have:

  • Competitive salaries that match or exceed our competitors, pension scheme, staff discount for signing your children up to Fennies
  • Internal education experts and specialists to support you in your rooms, and additional partnerships with external experts, such as Professor Sam Wass— from channel4’s Secret Lives of 4 and 5 Years Olds
