Level 3 Early Years Practitioner - Irlam, Salford
Full-time | 35 - 41.25 hours per week
Kidzrus Private Day Nursery Irlam
At Kidzrus Private Day Nursery, Irlam, we provide children with a safe, secure and fun-filled environment where they can learn, grow and thrive. Our nursery is Ofsted rated “Good” and is part of the wider Kidzrus family, which operates 8 nurseries across Salford.
With 45 children in our nursery, we have created a unique setting where children move between rooms when they are ready, rather than simply based on their age. Our two-storey nursery has been thoughtfully designed to provide a warm, welcoming, home-from-home environment where children feel comfortable, happy and secure.

You will also play a key role in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children, including supporting their health, wellbeing and nutritional needs.
