We are thrilled to announce 3 new nurseries have joined the LEYF family! Located in the London Borough of Newham, they will be the first LEYF nurseries in the area.
Situated between Hackney and Barking and Dagenham, transport links are great around the Stratford area. You can even see the London City Airport runway from one of the nurseries! The closest stations include Plaistow, Cyprus, and Stratford.
This is an exciting time for LEYF! During the pandemic, we have remained open for business as usual. We are delighted to be in a position to expand into the Newham area. As a result, we have several opportunities for early years professionals to join us as we expand into our twelfth borough.
We offer competitive salaries, attractive benefits, and a wealth of development opportunities as you would expect from an established, highly regarded, award-winning early years provider.
We are seeking a Chef assistant to join a tight-knit team in Newham. Our Chef assistants will work alongside the nursery chef to help supply the children with healthy and nutritious meals and snacks throughout the day.
To champion LEYF’s values and advocate our mission to save the world, one child, at a time.
To encourage a supportive team atmosphere and the ability to work together in a positive and compassionate way.
