Who?

Founded by Nick Breeze, a seasoned professional in the nursery recruitment industry, Nexter Recruitment brings specialised nursery staffing solutions to nurseries, schools, and childcare settings across the region.

Originally from Batley, Nick spent the past 25 years in London, where he successfully founded and ran a nursery recruitment agency for 15 years before sale in 2020. Now, he's returned to his hometown with a mission to bring nursery recruitment specialist services to Yorkshire.

Quote:

"I'm thrilled to be back in Batley and excited to launch Nexter Recruitment in Yorkshire," said Nick Breeze, Founder of Nexter Recruitment. "Nurseries are often big organisations with a lot of staff. When staff move on, or they’re hit with absences it can be the difference between opening and closing. Too often we hear stories of calling agencies and not knowing if people will turn up. Our motto, 'Local Staff, Live Availability, Loved by us,' reflects our commitment to quick, straight forward solutions so nursery managers know what’s going on."

What?

Nexter Recruitment caters to private day nurseries, school nurseries, Montessori nurseries, independent school nurseries, playgroups, and more. The core business being temporary sick, holiday and interim cover, and permanent recruitment services. 

Where?

From the new base in Leeds, the company will initially cover Bradford, Wakefield, Kirklees and Calderdale, with plans to expand to York and Sheffield towards the end of 2024.
