Why work with us? Don’t take our word for it, here is what our new team of Educators says about Jancett Childcare:

• "I am so happy that I work for Jancett, this is the best job I have ever had, the opportunities are amazing, Thank you all so much. I now skip to work."
• · I was made to feel so welcomed, the atmosphere was fantastic, and I felt totally at ease
• I learned about the visions for the nurseries and how it started, and I was humbled by it. I can also see how the community is benefiting from Jancett and this amazes me.
• Brilliant, I love the online app, I look forward to all the news we receive
• I was impressed at how many training courses Jancett have
• I have found the communication brilliant from the very beginning. I sent Lisa an email from the Jancett website about joining the team and promptly heard the very next morning, a call was arranged for later the same day. Lisa then invited me into an interview. At the interview, I was greeted by the Manager who soon welcomed me into the nursery. The interview proceeded, I had my taster session in the room and was made to feel very welcomed by all the staff in the room. I started my induction training, with Kirsty who once again made me feel welcomed into the setting. Upon arriving at the welcome session to conclude my induction I met Lisa, followed by Kirsty who then introduced me to the company Directors, and they introduced themselves as well. It was a lovely atmosphere in the room with great communication between all.
• I have honestly found everyone in Jancett absolutely wonderful. It has been a fair time since I have worked in a setting and from the very beginning, I was made to feel welcomed by all. I genuinely love how diverse Jancett are. Thank you to everyone at Jancett and Jace for making my start so comfortable.
