The nursery group has pledged its commitment to abide by a set of principles centered on openness and respect for each other, improved communication, respect for working hours, and considerate delegation of tasks.

Bright Horizons claims it is the first company in the early years sector to sign up to the charter, which was launched by Barclays and law firms Pinsent Masons and Addleshaw Goddard in 2018 to bring organisations together to reach a shared agenda for mental health and wellbeing.

The charter provides organisations and individuals with the framework, permission and challenge to work together across businesses to ‘rehumanise’ the workplace. Its aim is to create an open and respectful culture and that how we work and interact with each other is done in a thoughtful and mindful way, and, as far as possible, eliminates unnecessary stress, so that staff can work more effectively and healthily.
