The employer
Cavendish Lodge is in the heart of Keighley town centre - just a stone's throw from the bus station and a short stroll from the railway station. We've been caring for little ones since 1991 and proudly joined the 1st Safari family in January 2006. Our nursery is home to four fantastic playrooms: one cosy space for our 0-2 year olds, a busy room for our 2-3s, a buzzing pre-school room for 3-5 year olds preparing for their next big adventure, and of course our very own unique space for larger than life toys and experiences, filled with sensory and soft play fun! You're not just joining a nursery - you're becoming part of a family. We believe that when our team feels valued, supported, and excited to come to work, that positive energy flows straight to the children in our care.
