Early Years Educator (Level 3 Qualified)

Location: Nursery Rhymes – Knighton, Leicester
⭐ £300 Welcome Bonus (after successful probation)

We’re looking for a passionate Level 3 Early Years Educator to join our award-winning team at Nursery Rhymes – Knighton

If you genuinely love working with children, enjoy being part of a supportive team, and want to feel valued at work every day—this could be the role for you.

At Nursery Rhymes, we’re proud of our warm, welcoming environment and long-standing team. Many of our staff have been with us for years, creating a stable, supportive setting for both children and colleagues.

What makes this role different?

You MUST have:

A warm, smiling face that makes every child feel special
The ability to laugh at jokes you don’t understand (you’ll hear plenty!)
A bit of quirkiness—if a child asks you to be a pirate captain, you’ll fully commit
A genuine love of fun, laughter, and making each day enjoyable
The ability to make children feel safe, valued, and important

There really is no other job quite like this one.

About the Role

As an Early Years Educator, you’ll play a key role in supporting children’s development, learning, and wellbeing within a high-quality environment.

Yes, there’s paperwork, planning, and responsibility—but you’ll be supported by an experienced and friendly team who work together to make each day run smoothly.

✅ Requirements

Level 3 childcare qualification (e.g. CACHE Level 3 Diploma or equivalent)
Experience working in a nursery or early years setting
Strong understanding of the EYFS framework
Knowledge of safeguarding and child protection
Confident communicator with children, parents, and colleagues
A team player with a positive attitude

What we offer

Competitive salary (based on experience and qualifications)
⭐ £300 welcome bonus (after successful probation)
A genuinely supportive team – many staff have been with us for years
A well-resourced, high-quality learning environment
Ongoing training and real career progression opportunities
Regular team events and a positive, friendly culture
Pension scheme and paid annual leave
Focus on staff wellbeing and support
