About Woodlands Childcare LTD

At Woodlands we know that a good team makes all the difference and has the greatest influence in the smooth running of the nursery – and at Woodlands we are proud to have an extremely close and competent team of experienced long serving staff. We have a very low staff turnover and rarely employ agency staff as we value the contribution made by each member of our permanent staff.

Things to consider

Childcare is not about playing with babies all day. There will be a variety of activities to plan and deliver each day. You may have key children that you look after and will have to communicate with staff, children, managers and parents at the nursery. There will be a lot of cleaning to do, and you may have to work long hours, although this will vary with each employer. It is hard work but it is very rewarding.
