About the employer

Gwendolen House Nursery offers sessional childcare for children from six months to pre-school age, Monday to Friday (excluding Bank Holidays) from 7.30 am to 7 pm throughout the year (except for the Christmas to New Year period). The flexible childcare offered by Gwendolen House started thanks to popular demand from parents and friends of the Nursery who were looking for ad-hoc sessions to undertake freelance or part-time work, go to the gym, attend an appointment, deal with an emergency childcare need or who just wanted to have some child-free time to spend with friends or to get on with those jobs that need to be tackled without distractions.
