What a licence means

The slow part is done

Getting a licence takes an application, checks and a fee, and most employers never bother. 1st Step Childcare Ltd has, which means when a role qualifies the certificate can be assigned without months of preparation.

How to approach them

Make the certificate easy

The employer assigns the certificate; you supply what it needs. Certificates, references, your English level and a clear licence position, all ready, is what makes 1st Step Childcare Ltd say yes to the sponsored candidate over the unsponsored one.

The register

1st Step Childcare Ltd is licensed to sponsor workers on Skilled Worker. The organisation is based in Poplar, London and has held its place on the register since at least 2026. The register records its rating as Worker (A rating).

A licence says an organisation may sponsor; it does not say it is hiring today. The way to find out is the same as for any employer: the careers page, the job boards, and a direct approach with a UK-style CV that says early that sponsorship would be needed.
