🗣️Let’s Talk About Staff Retention in Early Years Settings! 😕Keeping great staff is just as hard as finding them, isn’t it? Turnover in early years settings can feel like a constant challenge, and it’s tough on everyone—children, families, and team morale. 🤔We know low pay and high workloads are often at the heart of the issue. But what about other factors? Do staff feel valued? Do they have opportunities to grow? 💓Sometimes it’s the little things—recognition, flexible working, or just feeling heard—that make all the difference. 💫What are your thoughts? How do you keep your team motivated and engaged? Let’s share ideas and support each other in tackling this ongoing challenge! #staffretention #earlyyears #earlyyearsteams #earlyyearsstaffing #earlyyearsleadership #nurserymanagers #theearlyyearscompany

🗣️Let’s Talk About Recruitment Struggles in Childcare! 💫Let’s be honest—recruitment in childcare can feel like an uphill battle. Finding the right people who share the same passion and dedication for early years is tough, isn’t it? 😕A lot of us are seeing fewer applicants, and when we do, it’s a challenge to match expectations with what we can realistically offer. Low wages, long hours, and a lack of understanding about how vital early years work is, doesn’t exactly help. 🤔But here’s the thing—what if we could shift the narrative? Could we attract more people by showcasing the impact of this work, the career growth opportunities, and how rewarding it is to help children to build the foundations for their lifelong learning? ❓What’s your experience with recruitment? Are you finding it harder to bring in the right team members? Or maybe you’ve found strategies that work? 🗣️Let’s get a conversation going! Drop your thoughts below—we’d love to hear how you’re tackling this challenge. #letstalkitout #earlyyears #nurserymanager #nurseryowner #recruitmentintheearlyyears #earlyyearsrecruitment #recruitmentcrisis
