Up to 20 extra paid days off every year on top of annual leave and bank holidays

Childbase Partnership is redefining what it means to work in Early Years.

For years, working in Early Years has been described as one of the most rewarding careers you can choose. Few professions allow you to make such a lasting difference to children's lives while building meaningful relationships with families and colleagues. But it's also a career that demands energy, dedication and commitment. That's why Childbase Partnership continues to invest in its colleagues and ensures their work-life balance is taken seriously.

What if looking after the people who care for children was just as important as looking after the children themselves? At Childbase Partnership, it is. We offer all colleagues...

Up to 20 extra paid days off every year or the ability to sell them if you would prefer the extra income instead.

Through our unique Partnership Reward Days initiative, Childbase Partnership gives colleagues the opportunity to earn up to 20 additional paid days leave every year – on top of annual leave and bank holidays.

For many full-time practitioners, that means over 50 paid days away from work each year.

Whether it’s spending more time with family, travelling, enjoying hobbies, or getting extra money, Reward Days give colleagues something precious – the choice. Take the time or the additional income.

Colleagues have the flexibility to sell some or all of their Reward Days if they'd rather receive additional income instead of taking the time off.

As the UK's first 100% employee-owned childcare company, every colleague is a partner in the business. That means every voice matters, everyone shares in the company's success through the potential for tax-free Partnership dividends, and everyone helps shape the future of the organisation.
