The setting provides a calm, nurturing environment that focuses on creating strong foundations during the most important years of a child's development.

With smaller group sizes and a close-knit team, practitioners have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with children and their families, tailoring learning experiences to meet each child's unique needs. Through engaging, play-based activities and a supportive approach, the nursery encourages children to develop confidence, independence, and a genuine love of learning.

• Previous experience working within an early years setting.
• Good understanding of the EYFS framework and safeguarding practices.
• A caring, enthusiastic, and child-centred approach.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
• A genuine passion for supporting children's learning and development.

What’s On Offer

• Salary of £28,000–£30,000 per year
• Competitive pension scheme
• Competitive annual leave package, including your birthday off
• Ongoing training and professional development opportunities
• Wellbeing programme and employee support
• Benefits portal
• Refreshments provided throughout the day
• Opportunity to work in a small, supportive nursery where every team member is valued

Nursery Practitioner Responsibilities

• Deliver high-quality care and education in line with the EYFS framework.
• Plan and provide engaging activities that support children's learning and development.
• Create a warm, safe, and stimulating environment where children can flourish.
• Encourage children's confidence, independence, and curiosity through play-based learning.
• Observe, assess, and record children's progress to support their individual learning journeys.
