tell them you got an offer of a job that you've wanted for a long time. it's life, they won't get upset about it, happens all the time. you actually don't need an excuse, just tell them the truth!

Let's see, you could be honest and upfront about the whole thing and tell them the truth, which is completely understandable or you could lie.

I wonder which choice is better. It does happen all the time

Double post. OP has asked this in PI as well.

Just tell them you got a better offer. People turn jobs down all the time. Get over it.

Its simple, tell them you got a job that career wise is what you want to do, so you will not be able to take up the position they offered and thank them for the opportunity.

Yeah absolutely, dame and the other posters, are right. The world of work is not the same as a personal relationship, you're not letting anyone down, it's business. Think about this, if the shop had been able to get someone else better and cheaper than you, do you think they'd have hired that person? Of course they would, they'd hire someone else in the blink of an eye, and probably not have given you a second thought. They wouldn't think twice about letting you down. Some may not even bother letting you know you didn't get the job. The shop does what's best for them, for their business, it's nothing personal, but you must also do what's best for you.

Are you worried about hurting their feelings?

Simple really, tell them you applied for the creche job a while back and thought they weren't going to get back to you, they did and so thanks for the job offer but you're taking the creche job.
