Engage have played a key role in our HR strategy this year. Sarah has integrated herself well into our leadership team and her wealth of experience within the nursery sector has been invaluable. We're looking forward to continuing to work with Sarah in the future and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to other nursery owners/operators.

I cannot recommend Sarah of Engage HR consultants enough. She has been supporting my company with helping us to recruit staff members for our nurseries and her attention to detail in finding us the right candidates has been outstanding. She is phenomenal at what she does. She has advised us of how to deal with staff members regarding HR issues. She goes above and beyond. She is always supportive and does everything with a smile.

Alongside this Sarah also has a sound understanding of the EYFS Statutory Framework and Safeguarding Children.
I would not hesitate to recommend Engage HR to any nursery owner/operator

Sarah Hall has been working for us as a freelance consultant for some time now. The idea was this would be short lived and we would recruit to this position. Sarah has been invaluable and we cannot let her go so have continued to use her on a set hourly contract, which is actually more cost effective than employing our own HR / Recruitment manager.

Sarah has taken a group of nurseries with a significant amount of vacancies, reliant on agency to a handful of manageable vacancies in just months! She has also helped with day to day HR - grievance, AWOL staff, absence management etc....as well as leading on bigger ticket items restructures, redundancies, potential tribunal cases......

There is nothing she cannot deal with and has sector knowledge and experience which for me is key as we are a little different to other industries!!

Great person, great company, quality service which is quick and is not as expensive as you might think!!
