WORK IN A FRIENDLY KITCHEN AND ENJOY WORKING WITH CHILDREN EVERY DAY

“When I arrive at the nursery in the morning, the children’s faces light up.” - Conchobar, Senior Chef
We’re the London Early Years Foundation, or LEYF Nurseries for short; a family of 40 nurseries. Our people love working for us because we focus on the child and their family, and give them the best start in life.
We give you strong in-house training at our Chef Academy. You’ll work sociable hours in a friendly environment, and you’ll love interacting with the children in your nursery.

“It’s a different working environment - a lot friendlier and calmer.” - Conor, Senior Chef
LEYF is passionate about making sure our children are as safe, fit and healthy as possible. Critical to this is ensuring children eat delicious and nutritious food every day and develop healthy eating habits for life. We know that the nursery chef is critical to this, so we invest heavily in our nursery chefs, and they are integral to the nursery team.
The Early Years Relief Chef will act as a roving Chef providing support and cover to LEYF’s nurseries in London as needed when permanent chefs are absent or there are vacancies. You will be allocated a “home nursery” which will be Deanery Road Nursery and Pre-School. Travel expenses beyond the cost of the home nursery will be reimbursed.
