100 Childcare Staff Needed - Sector's best training on offer

Asquith Nurseries, one of the UK’s leading childcare providers, is looking for over 100 extra staff for it’s London nurseries and is offering some of the best training in the sector as a temptation.

Asquith has teamed up with the Open University to offer its entire workforce the opportunity to study for a ‘Certificate in Early Years Practice’ – an NVQ Level 4 equivalent qualification – paid for by Asquith at a cost of £1,000 per staff member. This is the 1st time a major nursery group has offered training on such a scale for all its staff and is a major incentive for those looking to develop careers in childcare.

However there's a catch. The deadline to sign-up for this year’s course is approaching; so potential job applicants need to get their skates on in order to qualify for the training. Asquith are looking to hear from potential Nursery Managers, Deputy Managers, Room Supervisors, Nursery Nurses and Nursery Assistants – all of whom qualify for the training.

Russell Ford, Asquith’s Chief Executive, said, “This is an exciting initiative and a fantastic opportunity. No other nursery group is training its staff in such a major way and to such a level. This is a superb chance for anyone who wants to build a long-term career in childcare but they really need to get in touch immediately in order to take advantage. We are confident that this initiative will have a hugely positive impact on the quality of childcare and education that we offer to the children in our nurseries.”
