- Knowledge of safeguarding and child protection procedures.
- Confidence supporting children's individual learning and development.
- A caring, enthusiastic and reliable approach.
- Strong communication and teamwork skills.
What You'll Receive
- Part-time contract of up to 25 hours per week
- Pension scheme
- Life assurance
- Long service awards
- Regular team events
- Ongoing training and professional development
- Supportive nursery team
- Opportunity to continue developing your early years career alongside a part-time working pattern
What You'll Be Doing
- Provide high-quality care and education in line with the EYFS framework.
- Create engaging activities that encourage curiosity, creativity and learning through play.
- Support children's individual routines, interests and developmental needs.
- Build warm and positive relationships with children and their families.
- Observe children's development and contribute to their individual learning journeys.
- Help create stimulating environments appropriate for babies, toddlers and preschoolers.
- Work closely with colleagues to maintain consistent standards of care and education.
- Maintain high standards of safeguarding, health and safety throughout the nursery.
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.
