Our crèches are open 7 days per week and care for children from 4 months to 3 years. The crèches provide a calm and comforting environment for little ones with soft play as well as more stimulating toys, games and activities for toddlers.
Our club crèche is located on-site in a secure walled off section with a large grassy area for children to play safely. During busy periods, we open our deli crèche, situated below the Peli Deli, which offers a bright and airy indoor play space and large open garden.
In addition to fun-packed days, evening care and activities are also offered on selected evenings during both low and high season, as well as babysitting.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with management experience in an early years setting who is looking for a job they love, in a stunning environment and that shares our commitment to providing a happy, safe and stimulating environment for all children to play, learn and develop freely.
The role will involve leading a team of childcare professionals, curating a programme of activities that are interesting, educational, stimulating and fun for all age groups and ensuring effective communication with parents and carers.
