At Asquith Nurseries we are committed to the ongoing development of our people, to enable each and every one to reach their full career potential. We offer a wide range of training and development opportunities, and seek to continually improve the quality of our service by developing the skills, knowledge and individual capabilities of our staff.
Induction programme
Your career development begins the moment you join the company. All our staff undertake a four week induction programme which provides a valuable introduction to the company, your nursery or crèche, and your specific role. At the end of the initial four weeks, a personal development plan is formulated with the support of the Nursery Manager, and this then forms the basis for further training and progression within the company.
Career development
Your career and professional development is important both to you and to the company. At Asquith Nurseries we help you to progress by working closely in partnership with you. At each of our sites we have specialist training sponsors who guide you through your induction and further training. All our staff benefit from open communication channels, with monthly staff meetings, unit planning meetings, one-to-one meetings and an annual appraisal scheme.
