High-quality childcare, nursery services and pre-school education give Barnet's youngsters the best start in life by building their skills and confidence from an early age.
Barnet is boosting services for the under fives with:
- more nursery places,
- priority places for three year olds from less well-off areas,
- closer links with primary schools,
- new childminder networks,
- more teaching of reading and counting skills for youngsters in reception classes.
Your own experience of parenting or family childcare can be an excellent basis for working with children. Many Early Years workers begin their careers as volunteers before progressing to paid positions and relevant qualifications. All, however, must pass a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check.
More information is available from the Families and Young People's Information Service on 0800 389 8312 or by downloading our brochure Careers working with children, young people and families.To find out about the vacancies we have please visit www.barnet.gov.uk/fyi-jobs

Nurseries and Pre-schools
Working with children from babyhood until they start school, nurseries and pre-schools plan and organise activities for children that are educational and fun. Creating a caring and stimulating environment is key.
