Pros

The children are sweet but the environment is toxic. Most staff at the nursery are really good people who are great and love their job working with children, but their are very bad ones there.

Cons

Staff bullying. When serious issues come up and staff or trainees try to report them, the issues are quickly swept under the rug and the staff who reported it are bullied and abused, even when they said they have a good whistleblowing policy it turned out not to be true. While working you could see some of the babies being treated quite roughly, the language used while staff talk to each other wasn't appropriate for children to hear.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We want to reassure you that any concerns over the safety of children at our nurseries are taken incredibly seriously and will be investigated. Inappropriate language and rough handling will not be tolerated any of our nurseries. All of our children and families deserve to have a safe and supportive nursery environment. Equally, so do our teams. Bullying has no place at any of our nurseries and this should be reported to your nursery manager and the HR department. We apologise if you’ve ever felt unhappy or pressured to ignore bullying whilst at work.
