All our 40+ nurseries are Ofsted-rated Oustanding or Good so your hands on experience will be in a high quality environment.
We have a really diverse bunch of people in our nurseries, we pride ourselves on this diversity to give a range of experiences to each other and the children.
We’ve been around for over 120 years and we move with the times, leading change in our sector. You’ll get to learn from excellent Teachers and expert support teams.
As a registered charity and social enterprise, we reinvest any profits back into our nurseries and our people. Over 75% of our nurseries are in the most deprived areas of London and over 25% of our children are on funded places so you get to make a huge impact.
If you love it as much as we beLEYF you will, you could apply for a part time paid role as an Early Years Assistant to earn while you’re still learning.
When you do your placement with us, you’ll have a higher chance of success if you apply for a permanent Teacher role with us at the end of your course!
