SDN is a progressive employer with a commitment to providing a supportive and professional work environment.

We provide the strengths of a large organisation - we employ approximately 500 members of staff - with the benefits of a close knit community of people all committed to working towards  the same goals: providing high quality care and education for children aged 0-5 years of age, and strengthening families, local communities and the children's services sector.

SDN provides a supportive atmosphere in which to work. Our commitment to best practice means that we are constantly reviewing and improving what we do.

Staff members are an essential part of this process and all policies of the organisation are developed with staff consultation.

As a not-for-profit organisation, SDN reinvests all generated surpluses to improve service quality. Our staff are proud of the roles they play in contributing to our growth.
