Early Years & Primary
Confident starts for young learners
Warm practitioners. Steady classrooms.
At a glance
Primary settings need reliable adults in the room. We help you cover gaps without unsettling pupils or adding to your workload.
We work with nurseries, maintained primaries, academies, and school-based EYFS teams to place caring professionals who understand how young children learn. Our consultants know ratio requirements, curriculum expectations, and the pace of a primary school day.
Ratio-ready staffing
Practitioners arrive with qualifications checked and paperwork organised before their first session.
EYFS and curriculum confidence
Professionals comfortable with child-led learning, phonics, and age-appropriate assessment.
Parent communication
Staff who understand how to keep families informed and build trust from day one.
What schools value

Inclusive classrooms
Candidates experienced with speech delay, SEND support plans, and diverse learning needs.
Responsive follow-up
We check in after placements land to make sure staff, pupils, and leaders feel supported.
