Yes

9b. Why?

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to First Steps Nursery?

I would say go for it but bear in mind what the job entails, there is a lot more to the job then some people might think. As a company I don’t think you can find better. The interview process is really good, you are put at ease from the moment you sit down. However, do your research, there are lots of questions mainly relating to the job itself.
