What we do

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

We’re the London Early Years Foundation, a family of 40 nurseries dedicated to giving every child the best start in life through high quality teachers like you.??

Our nurseries are child led, community focused and our supportive teams take care of one another. You’ll join a network of social enterprise nurseries where all profits go back into supporting families, so you can make a real difference to children’s lives every day.

We are one of the largest providers of funded places for two-year-olds in London, and over 50% of those nurseries are rated Outstanding by Ofsted. As a social enterprise, our profits are invested back into our organisation so that we can continue to provide this high-quality education for all children and their families.

If you want to work somewhere with real purpose and heart, LEYF has a role for you. Whilst you are working to support our children, we make sure to support you too.

You’ll benefit from:

- Award-winning training and development including in-nursery pedagogy coaching
- 26 days annual leave + 8 paid training days each year
- Extensive benefits (including 70% of childcare fees and your birthday off)
- Flexible working options
- Money to celebrate Ofsted inspections as a team
- Sector-leading parental leave pay (50% of your salary)
