The Benefits Of A Career In Childcare

Working with children is fulfilling. If you decide to make a career in the childcare sector, you’ll get to help develop children’s minds to prepare them for the future. It’s a privilege to shape a child’s life.
Seeing children develop as young people. Having the freedom to give the children you care for the opportunities both indoors and outdoors to create their own interests and personalities.
The relationships you build. Helping children assists them to freely access fun activities, which allows them to learn in their preferred learning style. A child’s emotional wellbeing is built on secure relationships.

Working with children in early years settings is extremely rewarding. Creating happy children, positive futures and knowing that you have made a difference in a child’s life is hugely satisfying.
You can make the world a better place. Helping children grow and develop has a significant impact on the child, their family and their approach to the world they live in. Working in childcare allows you to influence the future.

Our Team Are Childcare Rockstars

People who work in childcare are our heroes!

It sounds like such a fantastic job.

Childcare professionals are paid to play and work in a fun environment, making a positive difference for young children. They are fuelled by the satisfaction that comes from seeing the children grow and develop, happily engaging in the work of childhood; play. They get to build relationships and trust with children and their parents.

But there is so much more to the role. The responsibility that childcare professionals take on when looking after children is enormous. They make sure that the children are safe and secure, both physically and emotionally. They have a mountain of observations, assessments, next-step developments and teachable moments to record and plan for.

There is a breadth of knowledge and understanding of child development needed to be an effective Early Years Educator. Childcare professionals have often spent years studying for childcare qualifications to give them the ability to provide the children with developmentally appropriate play-based learning opportunities.

We already have the largest staff team, who we believe are probably the best Early Years Educators on the Island. However, we are always looking for talented people who can bring their skills and enthusiasm to our purpose; creating Happy Children, Positive Futures.
