• A warm, caring, and child-centred approach to childcare

What's On Offer

• Benefit from discounted childcare
• Gain peace of mind with life assurance cover
• Continue developing your career through ongoing training and development
• Secure your future with a pension scheme
• Access health and wellbeing support whenever you need it
• Take advantage of a benefits and rewards portal with exclusive discounts
• Enjoy a competitive annual leave package
• Benefit from a Christmas closure
• Excellent opportunities for career progression

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver high-quality care and education in line with the EYFS framework
• Plan and participate in engaging, play-based learning experiences
• Support children's emotional, social, physical, and cognitive development
• Make full use of the nursery's free-flow indoor and outdoor learning environments
• Encourage children's curiosity, creativity, and independence through child-led learning
• Observe, assess, and monitor children's progress
• Build positive relationships with children, families, and colleagues
