Toni Krajnik, who runs Wise Owl Private Day Nurseries, which has two settings in Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire and Durrington, Wiltshire, decided to start Fuzzy Caterpillar Childcare Recruitment in response to the lack of such services in the Wiltshire region.
Fuzzy Caterpillar will be officially launched in May and aim to provide temporary and permanent staff for early years settings in the area at a competitive price.
Ms Krajnik said that the agency is unique in that all the bank staff on its books receive hands-on training at the Wise Owl nurseries and continual support, including help to complete their NVQ qualifications.
Ms Krajnik said, 'We often struggle to find emergency cover for our Wiltshire nursery, as there are no agencies in the surrounding area that have bank nursery staff. But with the launch of Fuzzy Caterpillar Childcare Recruitment Agency this will no longer be an issue.
