To make a really positive difference developing children.
We are enthusiastic and positive.
Through supporting each other we achieve more as a team.
We see things through the eyes of our customers and provide excellence.
Robinwood Activity Centres develop children as individuals and as members of a team, with safety, enjoyment and learning as our priorities. We aim to respond to customer feedback to provide the best customer experience and to respond to staff feedback to create the best place to work.
Robinwood has had a place in the Sunday Times ‘Top 100 Medium Size Companies to Work For’ for the last five years and have held the ‘Investor in People’ Award for 15 years since Autumn 2000. These are nationally recognised indicators of great training and development provision.
We also hold a 3-star rating of the ‘Investor in Customers’ Award, and we achieved the highest score ever for a first time assessment.
Our vision at Robinwood is to make a really positive difference developing children – one of the most worthwhile things that anyone can do in a job! We hope that by listening to staff and investing in their development we can make a positive difference in the lives of those who work for the company.
Robinwood runs various schemes and events with the aim of supporting various charitable causes and the local community.

For committed staff with the right qualities there are great career development opportunities for promotion to many positions through the company right up to manager level.
