Nursery firm creates new jobs thanks to expansion
COMPANY TO LAUNCH EIGHTH CENTRE IN TRAFFORD LATER THIS YEAR
MANCHESTER-BASED nursery group Kids Allowed has announced its biggest recruitment drive to celebrate 15 years of delivering childcare across the region.
The nursery business, founded in 2003 by Jennie Johnson and a former M.E.N. Business of the Year winner, is recruiting nursery nurses and apprentices across its seven centres in Cheadle, Stockport, Wythenshawe, Knutsford, Macclesfield, Altrincham and its HQ in Christie Fields, Didsbury.
One of the region’s flagship female-led firms, Kids Allowed prides itself on its impressive rates of pay, its focus on training and development and its approach to rewarding employees for their hard work.
Kids Allowed CEO, Jennie Johnson, said: “We’re in the lucky position to have grown an incredible team of caring, engaged and talented people who go above and beyond every day to give every child at Kids Allowed the best environment and the best care.
“I owe it to the existing team to find more extraordinary people to match their passion.”
Recognised as trailblazers in the childcare sector, Kids Allowed is set to open its eighth centre in Trafford City in September, featuring Manchester’s first Urbanscape green roof system as part of the £1.5m project , which will enhance local air quality for its 106 children and employees.
Jennie added: “We nurture every aspect of the children in our care with an exceptional environment and resources, the best team and a pedagogical approach that nurtures a child’s physical and mental wellbeing.
“Children at Kids Allowed flourish into happy, confident, resilient and inquisitive young people with a thirst for lifelong learning.
“We want to hear from people who are excited by the way we’re doing things differently.”
With more than 450 employees looking after around 2,000 children across seven centres, from babies to five-year-olds, Kids Allowed has graduated 3,000 children over 15 years.
The founder said: “I believe if we attract, upskill and retain great people, they’ll go on to achieve great things.”
