About The Role
Zero2Five are currently recruiting for a Qualified Nursery Practitioner to join a well-established Early Years setting near Edgbaston, Birmingham.
This is a permanent opportunity for an experienced and passionate Early Years Practitioner looking to develop their career within a supportive nursery environment that values its staff, recognises their contribution and puts children at the heart of everything they do.
The nursery has been delivering high-quality childcare since 1989 and is committed to creating a positive working environment where colleagues feel valued, supported and encouraged to grow and develop throughout their careers.
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.
