- Provide the children with a safe, secure and home like environment
- Operate a key person system and liaise with parents, carers, and senior staff

Hours: 36 hours per week across 4 days a week all year round or term time only. Your hours and 1 hour unpaid lunch break will be rota-ed to ensure appropriate cover in the nursery. Full time hours options are 8am - 6pm, 4 days a week.
Storybook offers rota flexibility to ensure that staff can always attend important family events and appointments, and enjoy positive work life balance. We will flex non working days to do this, so that annual leave entitlement can be saved for proper holiday time!
