Join Our Bank Team at Wondergarden Day Nursery & Forest School!
Looking for a flexible childcare role you'll genuinely love?
Whether you're fitting work around family life, studying, looking for extra hours, returning to childcare, or simply want the freedom to choose when you work, we'd love to welcome you to our amazing bank team.
At Wondergarden Day Nursery & Forest School, our bank staff aren't just "cover" – they're an important part of our team. You'll be welcomed into a friendly, supportive environment where you'll get to know the children, staff and families, making every shift enjoyable and rewarding.
Why choose our bank team?
- Work when it suits you
- Pick up shifts that fit around your lifestyle.
- No minimum hours.
- Perfect for parents, students, semi-retired practitioners or anyone wanting extra income with flexibility.
- A nursery unlike any other
Based in the beautiful village of Bulwick, just a short drive from Corby, Oundle and Stamford, we're a family-run day nursery and renowned Forest School where nature is at the heart of everything we do.
Children spend large parts of their day exploring outdoors, taking managed risks, building confidence and learning through real-life experiences rather than sitting inside four walls.
- Feel part of the team
Unlike agency work, you'll become part of our nursery family. We value every member of staff, support one another and genuinely enjoy coming to work.
Many of our bank staff tell us they love the relaxed atmosphere, friendly team and the opportunity to work in such a beautiful environment.
