Employee Ownership

What is Employee Ownership

Every colleague in our company is a co-owner, which means they contribute to more than just the lives of the children in our nurseries, they contribute to various aspects of the company as a whole.

Working under the banner “We all contribute, we all benefit”, Childbase Partnership employee owners have easy access to all company information and a voice individually and collectively through the 45-member, elected Partnership Council. Councillors, one from each nursery and Head Office, meet quarterly and are regular and valued contributors at main Board meetings.

Our colleagues also share in the financial success of our company and share equal tax-free Dividend Payments annually when the company has a successful year. In 2021 colleagues were paid up to £1000 and in 2022 colleagues received up to £1500 subject to NI deductions and based on hours worked within the year.

"Childbase Partnership will irrevocably remain in the hands of the people who make it successful. Employee ownership is quite simply the right thing to do for organisations seeking to be successful, sustainable and ethical. Success is never about the few and always about the many."

“Ofsted inspectors have repeatedly told us that a happy and engaged staff team equals confident children ready to realize their full potential and make a positive contribution in the world.”
