Early Years Educator
Summer term is coming to an end and we are now looking ahead to welcoming new children in the Autumn term. As our nursery continues to grow and welcome new families, we’re looking for passionate, creative Early Years Practitioners to join our wonderful team and be part of this special time.

We’re a family run nursery that celebrates curiosity, imagination and connection with the natural world. Here, you’ll find a caring and collaborative environment where ideas are encouraged, individuality is celebrated and every day brings new opportunities to make a difference.
Who We’re Looking For:
- Enthusiastic Early Years Practitioners with a Level 3 qualification.
- Team players who value kindness, creativity and collaboration.
- Individuals who see the potential in every child and bring learning to life through play.
