About Apple Tree

We think differently - that 'Small is Beautiful', that nursery school classes should be limited to just 20 - 30 spaces. We believe this creates intimate, rewarding working environments for our teams and outstanding outcomes for the children in our care.

Apple Tree Nursery Schools, is a dynamic, growing day care, nursery and preschools provider. We provide outstanding care and educational outcomes for babies and children aged 0 to 5 years, from our nursery and preschool settings in Brighton & Hove and Mid Sussex.

Do you agree that smaller, more intimate settings produce outstanding outcomes for children?

Are you looking for an interesting hands on role, with competitive pay and market leading benefits, but with the flexibility of full or part time working?
