At Partou, childcare isn’t just a job — it’s a journey.
We’re one of the largest childcare providers in the UK, following the merger of Just Childcare and All About Children. Backed by the Netherlands’ largest childcare group, we support over 75,000 children across 1,000+ nursery branches worldwide. With ambitious plans for growth and continuous improvement, it’s an exciting time to join our team.
We’re proud of our settings — and keeping them safe, functional, and compliant is essential to the care we provide. As a Maintenance Engineer, you’ll play a key role in ensuring our nurseries remain safe, welcoming, and in great working order.
You’ll be hands-on across multiple sites, attending reactive maintenance calls, completing compliance checks (such as fire safety and Legionella), and ensuring all work is logged, compliant, and delivered to a high standard. You’ll also be a go-to person for onsite queries, spotting opportunities to improve how we operate and helping nursery teams focus on what matters most — the children.
