You’re confused by employment law and employee rights

Back in December 2019 I had to close a setting and make my small team redundant, Imogen and her team were fab. As you can imagine I am pleased as punch to have her support me through this now too. Highly recommend.

Angela Harper

Director, Little Cherubs

I was recommended Redwing Solutions when I had a staff issue arise earlier this year. The telephone consultation was so useful, I decided to sign up for the retainer service immediately. It’s been the best decision I’ve made in reducing my workload and stress. No nonsense, immediate professional advice. I’d highly recommend to any Nursery Owner.

Imogen is brilliant. She has been mine and many more DNO’s lifeline in the last couple of weeks. But before that she was still brilliant. We have been with her and her team for about 3 years and their advice, guidance and support are fantastic. She does our staff handbook, our staff contracts, any letter that need doing for staff, guidance through staffing issues etc and herself or one of her team are always at the end of the phone when needed, no matter how small or large your queries.

Alison Lane

Director, Liliputs Day Nurseries.

Thanks to you and your team for all the invaluable support over the past year, we look forward to working with you again this year.

The main difference we have felt since having Redwing Solutions on board is the confidence that we have gained when dealing with staff. We now are confident that our employment procedures are sound, all of our obligations in terms of employee rights are taken care of, and in the event of an issue with staff, our disciplinary procedure is correct and robust. We would be very happy to recommend Redwing Solutions to other businesses and have done on a number of occasions.
