At Ashbourne Day Nurseries, we believe that every child deserves to grow and thrive in a caring, fun, and inspiring environment. As we continue to expand, we are looking for a Finance Business Partner who can make a lasting impact as the business grows.
Ashbourne Day Nurseries was founded in 2008 by parents, for parents, with our first nursery in Oxley Park, Milton Keynes. Since then, we’ve grown into a family of nurseries, each offering something unique, from purpose-built spaces to settings on farms and in beautiful listed buildings.
While we are proud of our growth, we’re equally committed to maintaining a friendly, warm atmosphere where children, parents and staff feel like part of the Ashbourne family. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum and always put children at the heart of everything we do.
