Great company! - Marketing Coordinator Tops Day Nurseries Employee Review

Had 1 hour breaks, staff was hardworking.

Nothing really. Couldn't complain as a I liked the job.

The only real positive is the team you work with day to day. Colleagues are supportive, and you build strong bonds going through a challenging environment together. Watching the children grow, develop, and hit milestones is genuinely rewarding and the main reason many staff stay as long as they do.

Management is heavily profit-driven, often at the expense of both staff wellbeing and the quality of care provided to the children. There is a clear disconnect between what is best for the children and the decisions being made at a management/company level. Staffing levels are consistently low, which puts unnecessary pressure on employees and impacts the standard of care. This is made worse by a high turnover of staff, meaning there is little consistency for the children or the team. Management shows little genuine care or support for staff, and both employees and children can feel like numbers rather than individuals. Concerns are often overlooked, and there is a lack of meaningful action to address ongoing issues.
