A truly dreadful place to work - Anonymous employee Partou Employee Review

~Nursery Staff - work hard but there is little reward for their efforts ~The Children - are the only reason I stayed at the job as long as I did

Absolutely awful company to work for … would not recommend! ~ The reputation of the company is more important to them than the actual support for the staff working within the nurseries. For example; - Little to no opportunity for progress - Training is poor with it all taking place on line no in person training available for staff - Staff leave because there is poor recruitment (heavily dependent on agency which leads to additional burden / pressure on qualified nursery based staff. -Overtime is expected (poor work life balance) -Senior Leaders don’t visit so they don’t know what’s happening in the nurseries themselves (if the senior leaders are even qualified in any form of childcare) -Senior leaders don’t listen or respond to feedback - Too much of a “if your face fits culture”

Since merging two companies back in 2023, we are still in a period of adjustment. We are actively pushing to address the lack of qualified practitioners across the industry by providing a fantastic benefits package. My People Leader is amazing, couldn't ask for more from him.

There are some pockets of people who are reluctant to change, which can become monotonous when trying to introduce new policies, benefits, ways of working. But these are few and far between.
