Realising Your Potential
Child Base is a people business whose sucess depends on the attitude, motivation and professionalism of its employees. The Company therefore takes a great deal of interest in the welfare of its workforce and in the development of individual and team skills. The role of Nursery Practitioner is one of the most important in our society. Few other careers can influence our next generation during their most formative years. We strive to be the employer of choice, to attract and retain the highest calibre of staff to kelp us deliver the highest standards of care.
Successful teamwork ...
Everyone of our nurseries is important (we operate over 30 nurseries in London, the Midlands and Home Counties) and we want all our people to be happy
and motivated.
SOUND Foundations
All our nurseries operate a care and development programme called SOUND Foundations. You will receive full training in the programme and its delivery.
Just rewards ...
Our pay scales are among the highest in the business. As your job or career grows, so will your remuneration. Personal performance is further recognised, for instance, through awards which are presented at the Child Base Annual Ball.
Child Base All Employee Share Plan (CASP)
The Directors of Child Base have an ambition for the company to become completely employee owned. To help achieve this ambition, shares in the company are currently on offer at 3 for the price of 1.
There are several reasons why shared ownership is good for everyone at Child Base. Firstly a spread of ownership secures the company's long-term future. For instance, the company can only be sold to a third party if the majority of shareholders want it to be.
Secondly, results in other companies have shown that shared ownership is a great motivator to everyone to make the company a success - because that success is shared. In the past 6 years our shares have increased in value from £1.6 to £4.0 and, in the past 4 years, dividends per share have increased from 6p to 12.5p. Share prices can of course go down as well as up, but with a motivated workforce we believe it is less likely to happen.
We therefore encourage all who join Child Base to join CASP and become a shareholder in their future.
Holidays
