Annual leave entitlements (full time equivalent). We understand that working in childcare is lots of fun but also very energetic work and we all need time to rest and recoup so we can perform at our very best at work. You are required to book your annual leave in January each year for the year. You are required to take the period over Christmas as annual leave and any bank holidays that fall on your work days. If by 1st February you have not booked all of your leave entitlement, the rest of your leave will be spread evenly throughout the year to ensure you get the respite you need and so that we have adequate cover at the nursery for you. These can be changed if the day you wish to take is available but we may not be able to guarantee this due to staff ratios. Annual leave is assessed at a site level to ensure other staff are available to look after your key children and ensure that your workload is managed.
