Permanent Nursery Staff

We proudly work with many early years childcare settings supporting both their permanent and temporary agency nursery staffing needs. We believe in building long-term relationships so we can understand and fulfil their requirements.

Looking for permanent nursery staff

With over 15 years’ experience in recruitmenting permanent nursery staff, we fully understand the cost of hiring and the need to budget this cost in. We consider all aspects of the client/candidate fit – a candidate must be relevantly qualified and experienced, but also be personable with great communication skills. We don’t stick to a script, we get to know the candidate and ascertain the best fit possible.

Having a reliable and trustworthy team that puts the safety and happiness of the children first is integral to your business. We only work with early years childcare professionals who are passionate about working in the childcare industry. We offer a full wrap around service including hosting your vacancy on our job board, evaluating CVs and selecting those with the right fit, screening candidates, organising interviews and checking references. We invest heavily in different types of advertising mediums. This is a no obligation service and fees are payable only once a candidate has been placed in your nursery.

We are proud to say that we work successfully with many early years childcare settings across Greater London and the UK. Our relationships are long term and have remained as such because of our core values. Our core values are reinforced by our work ethic and passion.

Matching the best candidate to your vacancy

  • We conduct an in-depth consultation with you so we fully understand your requirements.

  • I have been delighted with the service provided by the Purple Dove Team – Shama has taken all the stress out of the recruitment process, and in a very short time I have ended up with an excellent NURSERY MANAGER. What I found really good about Shama is that she is honest, very professional and understands the needs and provides only suitable candidates for the role.
