Atlas has expanded its partnership with Bright Horizons, a leading provider of community and workplace nurseries.
The new nationwide contract will see Atlas providing cleaning services to 136 nurseries across the UK, marking a significant growth from the initial contract in 2016, which covered 15 nurseries.
A strong working relationship and a shared commitment to quality service delivery has seen the partnership flourish. Safeguarding remains the highest priority for the Atlas team, who have collaborated with Bright Horizons to create a safeguarding charter for all operatives. This initiative provides parents and nursery teams with the peace of mind that everything is being done to ensure the safety of children in nursery care.
In addition to maintaining clean and safe environments, Atlas supports Bright Horizons by donating apprenticeship levy money to fund career development for early years specialists. To date, Atlas has funded more than 10 Level 3 apprenticeships, recognising the crucial role that educators play in the first five years of a child’s life.
Jessica Foster, Senior Contracts and Commercial Manager Bright Horizons commented: “We are very pleased to extend our partnership with Atlas, following our national retender of soft services. The team have quickly and professionally mobilised the new sites and we look forward to building even stronger relationships.”
