Employer Description:We have taken the utmost care in every aspect of our nursery from planning and designing the space, serving healthy and nutritious meals to choosing the best quality of educational materials, resources and the most qualified and nurturing staff. We always have your child’s best interest at heart.
It all started with a Mum. A Mum who wanted to create a safe play space for her 3-year-old. So ABC Studio Stay & Play opened its doors in the heart of Forest Hill, South East of London. It quickly became the destination for many local families, nannies, and childminders. The place for kids to enjoy and for carers to relax, meet old friends and make new ones. Unfortunately, Stay&Play facility is not open any longer as the space became too small to run during the pandemic.
During the first 3 years of the ABC Studio existence, the same Mum welcomed thousands of parents and had hundreds of conversations. And what seemed to be on everyone’s mind was the lack of not only a soft play places but, most importantly, the shortage of decent local day childcare.
So Mum came up with a new plan - to open a nursery. And not just any nursery but one that would put a Loving, Sustainable and Planet-friendly approach at its very foundation.
She was familiar with the sense of guilt and anxiety parents face when sending their little ones to nursery. And the only way to ease the pressure is to find a nursery that would be just like home - loving, safe and warm. A place which kids look forward to coming back every day, as a new adventure awaits them.
And with all these ideas and great intentions ABC Studio Childcare Peckham was born in 2020. It was the year of lockdowns but we sailed high above them and achieved solid GOOD grading with Ofsted at the end of 2022.Working Hours :Apprentices are required to be flexible to meet the needs of the business, and punctuality is key.
