From Friday (1 April), all staff across LEYF’s 39 nurseries and central office staff, including bank staff and apprentices, will receive a 3.5 per cent salary increase. A small bonus will also be given to all permanent staff, awarded pro-rata based on the number of hours worked during the current financial year.
In addition, all qualified Level 3 teachers will be paid equal to or above the London Living Wage (LLW) of £11.05 per hour, while all room leaders will receive no less than £11.85 per hour.
The age-related minimum wage (NMW) for permanent and bank staff under the age of 23 years will be removed, meaning all employees will be on or above the NMW, which is set to rise to £9.50 per hour from 1 April.
