The Worldwide education team is very responsive and professional at all times. They are also very understanding and provide great flexibility when needed (especially for students). Paul and Helen are very polite and have excellent communication skills. Would recommend this company if you are looking for temporary work in childcare.

All the friendly staff at world wide know how to get things done. I have yet to come across an issue that hasn't been sorted within the hour. If you are looking for work and are able to register with all your documents to this company I would recommend that you do. Best employment agency I've ever worked for.

Michelle and the entire team at Worldwide Education have been a pleasure to deal with. They truly have taken the stress of finding temporary staff completely out of the picture with their professional and informative approach. And I have no idea how they do it at the price! I would highly recommend Michelle & Worldwide Education!

I have worked for Worldwide Education for over 3 years providing 'Temp' cover, which is what I most enjoy doing. They look after their employees, and work with your travel limitations. I love working for Worldwide because I get to go to a variety of settings. I go to the same nurseries regularly enough so that the children I work with bond with me. I like the flexibility as I can take a day off when I need to.

I worked for Worldwide Education for over 2 years! Starting off as a Nursery Assistant, Worldwide provided me with work whenever I needed and gave me the most flexibility to fit around my college schedule. I had the privilege of working with a wonderful team of very intelligent, understanding and respectful women! I couldn't possibly recommend a better company to work for. They care about external staff more than any other agency- providing training courses, guidance and support. What really makes them different is the way they give back to the local community!
