Why Us?
Why choose a career in early years?
Early years is a dynamic and vitally important sector which needs high quality staff at all levels. Those who work in this sector play a crucial role in shaping the lives of future generations. It is a career that you can rightly be very proud of.
A career in early years is rewarding, enjoyable and profoundly important. Most people who work in the sector love their jobs and look forward to going to work every day. Not only do you get to enjoy playing and having fun with children but you are also helping them to develop and learn. Children will use some of the skills they learn with you, such as how to get on with other children, for the rest of their lives. There is no other career choice which will provide you with as many laughs and smiles during the working day.
Working for Seymour House

It is a policy that children, parents, employers and partner schools all value and this has enabled the Partnership to re-invest and fund over 20 years of growth and development. Seymour House now operate eight Day Nursery Schools across Essex making them the Countyӳ leading independent provider of funded nursery education.
Seymour House is still a family led organisation and continues to innovate and invest in new services for young children and their families.
