30 Sep Find Temporary Nursery Staff in London with Purple Dove
Running a nursery in Greater London and beyond can be rewarding but also stressful. Everyone has, quite rightly, high expectations of nursery management and its staff. Parents, Ofsted standards, and the daily pressures of maintaining ratios, it’s no surprise that staffing remains one of the biggest concerns for managers and owners.

When permanent staff are absent due to illness, training, or leave, nurseries often require qualified bank staff at very short notice. Purple Dove is here to help you in your quest for the right staff for your business.
Bank Staff Are Essential
Unplanned absences are going to happen. A staff member may need time off without much notice or you may have children booked in that you were not expecting. Without the right cover, you risk falling foul of Ofsted legislation by being under the legal staff-to-child ratio.
More than Backup
Temporary or bank staff are not just a backup. You have to factor in their usage because that’s the way of the world. Purple Dove will provide qualified and experienced nursery staff. We’ll have interviewed them, made sure they are qualified, plus DBS checked and that they have the aptitude for working at your nursery.
