• £13.30 per hour
• 37.5-hour permanent contract
• Competitive annual leave
• Heavily discounted childcare
• Wellbeing programme
• Refreshments provided
• On-site parking
• Regular team events
• Opportunity to work within a friendly, independent family-run nursery where every team member is valued

Your Role

• Deliver high-quality care and education in line with the EYFS framework.
• Plan engaging, play-based experiences that support children's individual learning and development.
• Encourage children's confidence, creativity, and independence through both indoor and outdoor learning.
• Make full use of the nursery's exciting environments, including cosy reading spaces, den-building areas, and creative outdoor play zones.
• Observe, assess, and record children's progress to support their individual learning journeys.
• Build positive relationships with children, families, and colleagues.
• Maintain a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment where every child can flourish.
• Follow safeguarding, health and safety, and nursery policies at all times.

All appointments are subject to safer recruitment requirements, including an enhanced DBS check, satisfactory references, and verification of the right to work in the UK, in line with safeguarding responsibilities.
