Pros

Lovely colleagues there, everyone is easy to get along with, lunch provided majority of the time

Cons

Bad salary, too many expectations, a lot of pressure but the pay is not enough at all. Only 3 rooms but very packed with children, no consideration of work load for staff or lack of space for children. Management like to undermine what you do by stating that the activities are not “engaging enough” or that the “children are bored”, but don’t like to take responsibility for not thinking about the room’s capacity. Plenty of seniors have crumbled under the pressure but management turn a blind eye. So many better opportunities at other places for sure!

Pros

Working at Bright Little Stars continues to be an incredibly rewarding experience. The organisation genuinely values its people and is deeply committed to high-quality early years education and staff development. As a Careers Academy Lead, I feel trusted, supported, and encouraged to innovate, which has enabled me to make a meaningful impact on training, leadership development, and practice across the nurseries. The culture is positive, collaborative, and child-centred, with strong leadership and a clear vision for continuous improvement. There are excellent opportunities for professional growth, and staff wellbeing and development are taken seriously. It is inspiring to work alongside passionate colleagues who are dedicated to giving children the best possible start in life. Overall, Bright Little Stars remains a fantastic place to work for anyone seeking purpose, progression, and a supportive team environment.

Cons

I do not have any cons. BLS is an exceptional organisation to work for. It creates a supportive and inspiring environment where you can take pride in your work, feel truly valued, and be part of a team that genuinely prioritises people and the highest standards of education and care.
