Careers

Many members of our team have built long and rewarding careers with Kid Ease, including several senior leaders who joined when our first nurseries opened more than twenty years ago.

Our Kid Ease family is a close-knit group of five nurseries across East Kent and Norwich. This means our teams benefit from the support, knowledge and opportunities that come with being part of a larger organisation, while still working in settings that have a genuine family feel. Our Head of Childcare is hands-on, our directors are accessible, and every nursery is supported to develop its own strengths and identity.

We recognise our people as our most valuable resource. We are committed to supporting professional development through high-quality induction, ongoing training, mentoring and regular supervision. Many of our senior team members began their careers as students, apprentices or trainee practitioners and have progressed into leadership positions over time.

A supportive working environment and a genuine focus on team development and wellbeing are things we take seriously. We believe that when people feel valued, supported and trusted, they do their best work. We also believe children benefit from consistency and familiar faces, which is one of the reasons we are so proud that so many members of our team have chosen to build long-term careers with us.

Our teams benefit from:

• Structured induction programmes
• Ongoing training and development
• Regular supervision and appraisals
• Opportunities for progression
• Mentoring and coaching
• A supportive culture built on shared values
• 28 days’ holiday including bank holidays, rising by one day for each year of service up to 33 days
• 50% reduction in nursery fees for your own children
• Life assurance at three times annual salary, non-contributory
• Company pension
• Cycle to work scheme
