Working in childcare is varied and you’ll show an aptitude to nurture your charges. Nursery workers and nannies have the ability to put the safety and needs of children first, they employ worthy values and aim to provide the maximum level of care. At the same time, they create a fun, structured and stimulating, child-centred environment.
Childcare roles can vary enormously and what the position is named is also varied, for example:
Alternative titles include Nursery assistant, early years educator, pre-school assistant, playgroup assistant, childcare worker.
Nursery workers help babies and children up to 5 years old to develop and learn in a safe and supportive setting.

My incredible journey with Purple Dove started 2 years ago. I was at University hoping to earn extra cash to help with my travel expenses and food. However it was extremely hard to find any jobs and I gave up hope of ever finding a job, until one day when I came across Purple Dove online. Once I called, I had a Skype interview set up the next day. I started working straightaway, it was that easy! I have learnt so much about myself and gained invaluable experience and knowledge. It has been amazing to work with Purple Dove. I would 100% recommend Purple Dove to anyone who is seeking to find work ASAP. Faduma

A few weeks ago I added my cv to total jobs website. I did this with apprehension thinking I wouldn't find anything. However, within two weeks I had been to two interviews and was offered a job that I can only describe as tailor-made to me. This is all thanks to Purple Dove. They got in touch and after we spoke the first time I felt so much anxiety that I had over relocating from the Midlands to London melt away. I just wanted to let you know what an excellent job they doing and how well they keep in touch. I was never waiting days for emails or feedback or information. They are very professional and not only found me a job but relieved me of a mountain of anxiety and stress over the move. I will recommend the company to anyone I meet that is looking for new work. Thank you
