Reduce Staff Turnover
High staff turnover disrupts children’s routines and raises Ofsted concerns. Our permanent placement approach focuses on finding practitioners who are committed to a long-term career in your setting.
Compliance From Day One
Every permanent placement comes with a complete compliance file — DBS, qualifications, right-to-work, and professional references — ready for any Ofsted inspection.
Workforce Bridge offers transparent fixed-fee pricing for permanent childcare placements based on the seniority of the role. We provide a clear quote upfront with no hidden costs. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your specific vacancy.
We offer a replacement guarantee period on all permanent placements. If your new hire leaves within the guarantee period for any reason, we will source a suitable replacement at no additional cost.
A typical permanent nursery recruitment campaign takes 4–6 weeks from brief to placement. For senior roles like nursery manager, allow 6–10 weeks. We can expedite timelines for urgent vacancies.
