About Employer

About us Shine Childcare is a family-run private nursery chain created, owned and managed by Graham and Amika Abbott. Shine has four nursery sites based in Halifax, Huddersfield, Leeds and Oldham. We believe in helping children learn through play and we love what we do. Shine Childcare was set up to bring families from all walks of life together to provide the richest environment for growth and development. Industry Leading Nursery Practitioners To really stand out from the crowd and ensure we offer the best private nursery care. We hand pick the most dedicated nursery practitioners who have the ability and experience to provide child-focused learning and development. Our Managers spend the majority of their time training and mentoring staff. This still leaves time for getting very involved in the learning journey of each and every child. We can only do this by having supernumerary Managers and Deputy Managers at all our sites. That is to say the Managers and Deputy Managers do not directly look after children themselves. They are there to support staff and parents alike and to strive to constantly improve standards in all areas. By working in harmony with the individual as well as the group, the children are encouraged to develop and learn at their own pace. This provides the best preparation for the eventual move into school. We pride ourselves on the effort to ensure the most beautiful and engaging surroundings. Four Unique Locations We love working with children from all backgrounds. Our nurseries have all got their own unique characteristics and are highly regarded in the areas they are based. These are Newbank House in Oldham, Little Angels in Huddersfield, Tiny Tree in Leeds and Tiny Tree in Halifax. Each site provides full day care together with a Before and After School and Holiday Club. The Best Path to School By making sure that our nurseries provide the best possible care, every child leaves us ready for the road through school and beyond. As a result, children are confident self starters, caring and kind. This results in an inquisitive desire to learn more and become the best person they can be
