FlexForce keeps our six Hampshire nurseries running smoothly by providing flexible cover whenever it’s needed.
You step in to support our teams when educators are on leave, unwell, or attending training — choosing shifts that suit your availability through our simple app.
It’s flexibility with purpose. You gain experience across different settings, build your confidence, and become part of a supportive group of professionals who care deeply about early years.
With training, a uniform, and full team support, you’re set up for success from day one.

I enjoy being FlexForce as it's flexible for me! As a single parent, it works for me as I can fit my hours around my son's school hours without having to find childcare for him.

"I enjoy being part of the first friend’s family as a FlexForce team member. Not only does it allow me great flexibility around other commitments, it also enables me to play an important role in contributing towards children's well-being, learning and safety. "

"My FlexForce role is exactly what I was looking for after more than fifteen years working in a primary school. I really value being able to fit my work around my personal commitments, whether that’s enjoying a game of tennis or spending time with my lovely retriever, Monty."

" I enjoy being part of a caring environment where every day is different. The flexibility of the role fits perfectly around my lifestyle, allowing me to balance other commitments while doing something I genuinely enjoy."

It's nice to be part of a team and get to know all of the children and staff. I also like the flexibility, as it enables me to do things in my own time and still work regularly.

"I really enjoy being part of the FlexForce at First Friends. I work in my local nursery, where the team is always friendly and supportive. The flexibility to choose shifts that fit around my busy family life is something I really value."

"I joined the FlexForce team to do something for me. As a mum of two and a full-time carer, this is the perfect role for me. I can work around school/nursery and hospital visits. I really enjoy working with such a welcoming family. Walking into the nursery to have a shift full of fun, is what I love."
