About Solus Deus

Welcome to Solus Deus – Specialist Early Years Recruitment & Training.

We are more than a recruitment agency. We are a partner, a supporter, and a champion of early years education. With Nearly two decades of hands-on experience in nurseries, we understand the challenges managers and educators face every single day — staff shortages, high turnover, growing demands, and the pressure of maintaining outstanding standards.

That’s why Solus Deus was created. To provide nurseries with staffing and training solutions that don’t just fill gaps, but build stronger, calmer, and more resilient teams.

What We Do

  • Recruitment with Intention – We carefully match staff to nurseries where they can truly thrive, ensuring alignment with your ethos, values, and needs. From unqualified assistants to senior managers, every candidate is thoroughly vetted and supported.

  • Training with Purpose – We deliver ongoing training and CPD for both our staff and your teams. This includes safeguarding, co-regulation, emotional development, EYFS, and more — equipping practitioners to feel confident and capable.

  • Tailored Support – Every staff member we place undergoes nursery-specific training, so they walk into your setting ready, prepared, and connected to your policies and routines.

  • Flexible Packages – From emergency cover to permanent hires, and pay-as-you-go to subscription plans, we’ve built solutions to give you choice, reliability, and peace of mind.

Why We’re Different

At Solus Deus, we believe recruitment is not about transactions it’s about transformation. We care deeply about the wellbeing of staff and the environments children grow up in. By investing in people, we improve retention, reduce stress for nurseries, and create the consistency children need to feel safe and flourish.

Our philosophy is simple yet powerful:
Recruit with Intention. Train with Purpose.
