You want to make a good impression and the way you dress will have an impact on this. Toad Hall Nursery’s interview dress code is ‘smart’. You should always dress smartly, whether that be a smart work-style dress, skirt and blouse or smart trousers and top (women), or a suit trouser and shirt (men). This relates to all organisations that you interview for, unless the interview confirmation states otherwise. Please do not turn up to interview in jeans, trainers etc.

Upon arriving at the nursery, due to safeguarding you will have to press the office buzzer to be let in by a staff member. You will be asked to sign in and will be made comfortable by the interviewer. The nursery may want to do a tour of the nursery either before or after the interview if there is time. We are all lovely and friendly, you will be offered a drink (please don’t try to be polite and say no, if you really want one!), we want you to be as comfortable as possible. All nurseries may differ in the order of their interviews, but it usually starts with the competency-based interview, followed by either a written assessment, presentation or a room observation – otherwise known as a ‘stay and play’. You may be invited back in another day for the stay and play depending on time. The interviewer will take the required documents and copies of your right to work and qualifications (if applicable). Once your interview has concluded, you will receive feedback as soon as possible. If you have any reasonable adjustments needed, please let us know and we will do the best we can.

I guess it's better than leaving your child on the street for the day

I came to Toad Hall as an Assistant Manager of an independent, private day nursery, looking for my next step up on the ladder but not entirely sure what that would entail. Toad Hall offered me my dream job as a Manager in one of their nursery's and I have never looked back. I have been supported every step of the way and had the confidence instilled in me that I had never encountered before. I have learnt a plethora of new skills and had some truly amazing experiences (along with some challenges that TH supported all the way!). To be able to lean on such a wide support network including friendly other managers, area managers, human resources and it's own finance team has been invaluable to learning my own role!

Relatively fast but depends on the day
