As a Level 3 Nursery Practitioner, you'll help children develop the skills they need for a successful transition into school while ensuring they enjoy every step of their early years journey.

Every room has been carefully designed with age-appropriate resources that inspire learning through play, both indoors and outdoors.

One of the nursery's standout features is its Forest School programme. The Pre-School room is led by staff with Forest School qualifications, giving children regular opportunities to explore nature, develop resilience, and build confidence through outdoor learning experiences.

• Previous experience working within an early years setting.
• Good knowledge of the EYFS framework and safeguarding practices.
• A genuine passion for helping children develop confidence and a love of learning.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
• An enthusiasm for outdoor learning and child-led exploration would be advantageous.

Nursery Practitioner Responsibilities

• Deliver high-quality care and education in line with the EYFS framework.
• Support children's learning and development through engaging, play-based experiences.
• Create stimulating indoor and outdoor activities that encourage curiosity and independence.
• Build positive relationships with children, families, and colleagues.
• Observe, assess, and monitor children's progress to support their individual learning journeys.
• Promote children's confidence, communication, and school readiness.
• Maintain a safe, nurturing, and inclusive learning environment.
