Sunhill invests continuously in staff training and development, but maintains a sensible balance between trainee and experienced staff. Over 50% have approved qualifications, while nursery assistants are chosen for their maturity and experience. All staff are carefully vetted, and staff-child ratios are generally greater than those laid down by statutory requirements. The target average staff ratio throughout our nurseries is approximately 1:4, encompassing the statutory requirement of 1:3 for babies and toddlers, aged 3 months to 2 years, 1:4 for 2-3 year olds and 1:8, age 3 plus.
Babies & Toddlers
Although ratios, qualifications and experience are important, staff members working with babies and toddlers are also selected for their ability to relate to, and desire to work with very young children.
About Nursery Management Positions
Sunhill is a progressive employer and we encourages all employees to achieve their maximum potential. We seek managers who can make a difference to the day-to-day running of our nurseries. Of course you need the qualifications, knowledge and experience but not necessarily as a manager at present. We are looking for potential, and team players with the ability to take responsibility and work closely with children, parents and other managers. IT skills are a distinct advantage, but we will train you on our systems. The ability to pick things up quickly, get on well with staff and parents is just as important. Some of our senior managers started with us as nursery nurses, so it you think you have what it takes to manage one of our nurseries - talk to us.

Jobs at Sunhill
Although better known for failing to conquer the Russian winter, Napoleon's army was successful in beating the Prussians because he gave his generals freedom to conduct their own battles, which gave them speed and flexibility over their enemy. He also said every soldier in his army carried a Field Marshall's baton.
Sunhill's philosophy is similar, ambitious people with new ideas are always welcome, and we consider every employee has the potential to achieve any position they prove competent to attain.
