Choosing nursery recruitment support

Should I use an agency, a staffing app or a job board?

An agency can search for candidates or arrange cover. A staffing platform lets you manage bookings, but its employment and payment model can vary. A job board advertises your vacancy; recruitment software manages applications. Check exactly which work the provider does for you.

How much does nursery recruitment cost?

Temporary cover may use an hourly or daily nursery charge. Permanent recruitment may use a salary percentage, fixed placement fee or campaign fee. Advertising and software have separate charges. Candidate salaries are not the price the nursery pays the recruiter. Request a written total including VAT and any extras.

Can I find a nursery agency near me?

Filter by your nursery’s region, then check the coverage note and give the provider your postcode. An office address or nationwide permanent recruitment service does not prove local temporary staff availability.

Does a screening label guarantee a worker is suitable?

No. It records what the provider says it checks. Ask for the evidence for the person and role, agree responsibilities, and complete your setting’s recruitment and induction procedures.

How are providers ordered?

Only approved directory reviews appear in the visible rating and count. Default ranking combines these with a starting weight equivalent to ten ratings at 3.5; those starting values are never presented as customer reviews. Equal scores sort alphabetically. Paid relationships do not change this calculation.

How current is the information?

Each profile includes its sources and last checked date. Records are flagged for review after 90 days. Unconfirmed details remain blank or are explained in notes. Ask for current availability and terms before booking.
