HR Specialists for Early Years

We work with Day Nurseries, Pre-schools and Out of School Clubs who provide aspirational care and want to know they are doing things correctly from a HR perspective.

 

You didn’t get into childcare to lose sleep over staff issues, did you?

If any of the following keeps you up at night, you are in the right place.

  • You’re confused by employment law and employee rights
  • You are worried that you might make a mistake and it costs you the business
  • You don’t like dealing with staff conflicts and confrontation and want to know the best way to solve issues
  • You want a happy, well run team giving the best care to the children.

Retained HR Support

Our Retained HR Support provides peace of mind, proactive, timely advice from a team of qualified professionals who understand the Early Years sector.

Unlike big providers, we offer a one year contract, no notice period and no rollover required. We’ll send you a postcard six weeks before your contract is due to expire to remind you of the anniversary and ask if you’d like to renew, no hard sell.

We are different from insurance-backed providers, who tell you to do nothing. We promise to deliver practical solutions about what you can do. With Retained HR Support, our advice is tailored to you as an employer, and we understand the complexities of your industry.

I can’t rate the support of Imogen and her team highly enough. The time taken to understand my business and how they can help has been greatly appreciated. I couldn’t have navigated certain situations without Imogen and her advice.

Redwings have been invaluable to us , especially in the last couple of years. It is fantastic to have their calm and professional advice just a phone call away. HR is a minefield and just knowing you can turn to them for help when needed helps you sleep better at night. The fact that they only work with the Early Years Sector means they really know how we differ from other areas of business and therefore they have a greater understanding of our needs. Highly recommend! A grateful nursery owner
