Employer Description:
At Jam Childcare we are passionate about providing the highest quality care for children. As mums ourselves, we understand how difficult it is to find quality care for your children when working. After working in childcare for over 10 years before having our own children, we had to leave full time work when they went to school as there were no provisions for out of school care in the area, this led to us starting Jam After School Club in Sawbridgeworth. Our vision is to provide parents with a service where they can fully relax knowing that their children are happy and well cared for, in environments where they feel safe and confident and by people who truly care and appreciate them as individuals. We want to be able to provide a personal service that caters to individual needs which is why we aim to be as flexible and accommodating as possible.
