Pros

Lovely children, nice kind colleagues.

Cons

Run with constant threats of disciplinary. Parents unaware of how little time the children are outside doing the things that they used to do before it was bought be Icp nurseries. A never ending bombardment of paperwork which goes way beyond what Ofsted require, which means less time is actually spent looking after the children. Staff continually have to stay behind for a couple of hours to catch up on paperwork, which is unpaid. Basically it is all for show. The staff are at their wits end and are leaving one by one. Not a nice company to work for. They do not accept that a close family bereavement is a good enough reason not to attend a meeting. If the parents knew what it was actually like they would take their children elsewhere.

Pros

Location Day off for Birthday (but not guaranteed because of ratio) Garden area NoodleNow!

Cons

Long hours Over worked No resources for children Staff always leaving Always out of ratio Children escape from their rooms going unnoticed for long period of time Staff unhappy all the time Management don't care about our mental health Parents complaints get brushed under the carpet, unaddressed and sugar coated in the hope they get forgotten about. Always being pushed around from one nursery to another to cover the shortfall of staff Too many agency vs qualified/ permanent staff who cannot support us because they are not with us for long enough to learn routines or the children Management covering in more than one nursery, so we don't get the full support from our own managers anymore. Cuts being made higherup in the senior management roles, now we feel unsure who to report things to.
