Introduction

About The Employer

Our aim is to help each child reach the highest degree of independence and confidence, as well as to discover their own strengths academically and creatively, and to pave the way for them to go on and be happy and inquisitive at school.

Traditional Teaching Methods

Here at Playdays each individual child is cared for and taught in a traditional and homely manner, in an environment that is both stimulating and fun. Playdays offers excellent quality care for children aged three months to five years from a variety of Nursery Nurses, Nursery Assistants and Nursery teachers. For the older children we introduce many subjects such as practical life, sensorial, language, maths, cultural subjects and general knowledge. More activities include French, swimming, computers, music and movement, art, craft, sand and water play, and not forgetting outdoor activities also our aim is to provide each child with the confidence to excel!

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
