As Co-op Childcare steadily rebrands to Little Pioneers we are taking the opportunity to revive, refurbish and reinvest in our nurseries. This exciting change is more than just the name above the door – it reflects our determination to become the leading early years provider – and what a good time it is to join us.

At Little Pioneers, we know it takes talented, dedicated people to look after children. Which is why we nurture our colleagues as well as the next generation By supporting the individual needs of each member of our team, we make sure they’re always developing and learning. Whether it’s your first job, you’re looking for a new role or you’re coming back to childcare – at whatever level or ability, we help our practitioners build genuine careers by inspiring them to achieve their ambitions.

Our roles come with a fantastic and unique set of benefits which really make a difference, like discounted Co-op food bills and childcare. For example, our staff get a phenomenal 60% off their nursery fees, which could add up to a £7,000 saving a year. And what’s even more rewarding, is if you join the Co-op family right now you could qualify for up to £2,000 introductory bonus. That’s a pretty warm welcome.
