Job Introduction

Join Childbase Partnership and be part of something extraordinary.

At Childbase Partnership we have been delivering childcare excellence since 1989. Our mission is to give children the best possible start in life and instil a lifelong passion for learning. Across all 44-day nurseries, Head Office, and our Training Academy of Excellence, our dedicated colleagues work together to create a lasting, positive impact in our local communities.

We are determined to be excellent and constantly strive for the best outcomes, not only for the children in our care but for every colleague too.

What makes us special?

  • We are 100% employee-owned – which means we are all partners, we all have a meaningful voice, and we own our future - (this includes sharing profits too, totally tax-free).
  • ‘Number 1’ - we have earned the top spot in the prestigious Nursery World league tables for our Ofsted outcomes, all thanks to our extraordinary colleagues.
  • Record-breaking Green Flag achievements, and climate-positive status - we save more CO2 than we create (take that, climate change!).
  • Planting in excess of 2,000 trees in the Eden Restoration project - because the planet needs a hug too.
  • Over £3.5 million raised for charity – we’re basically fundraising superheroes (without the capes).

At Childbase Partnership, our ethos is simple; we all belong, we all matter, and we all contribute so we all benefit. Our core values foster happiness, confidence, and growth, with a ‘careers not jobs’ approach, shaping the future of our extraordinary company together.

Own your future and join us as a Relief Nursery Practitioner at our 148-place, Ofsted outstanding Day Nursery in Orpington.

In this support role you will provide relief cover for team holiday, training and other staff leave. You will have the opportunity to work with all age groups (0-5 years) across the nursery. Some shifts will be offered to you in advance, while others may become available at short notice.

The flexible nature of this 0-hour role allows you to choose shifts that suit your availability. If you are offered a relief shift on a day when you have prior commitments, you are welcome to decline the shift. Additionally, if you are interested, you can work across any of our other 43 nurseries in a relief capacity.

As relief cover requirements change from week-to-week, we are seeking new relief team members who can work varied shifts between the hours of 07:30am-18:30pm, ideally on at least two days each week.

Join Us And Benefit From

  • A competitive salary: £12.36-£13.77 per hour (based on experience and qualifications).
  • Exclusive rewards: Tax-free Partnership dividends, qualification reward payments, long-service bonuses, retail discounts, and family fun days with free tickets to UK attractions.
  • Well-being support: Mental Health First Aiders, two free meals a day in the nursery, occupational health support, and a free will-writing service.
  • Growth opportunities: Team inset training days, professional development support, online courses, and apprenticeships through our Training Academy of Excellence.

Your knowledge, skills and character qualities make you the perfect Relief Nursery Practitioner. You are:

  • Passionate about making learning fun; your childcare experience enables you to inspire young children to reach their full potential.
  • Naturally nurturing; you care about others and their well-being and the children in your care feel happy and safe.
  • An advocate for partnership working; you thrive as part of a team environment, and you enjoy building meaningful and respectful relationships with others.

Are you ready to contribute to something quite extraordinary?
