What we’re looking for
- A full and relevant Level 2 or Level 3 Early Years qualification (required)
- Previous experience working with children under 5 years old (required)
- A genuine passion for Early Years

Why join us?
- A well-resourced and thoughtfully designed nursery
- Ongoing training and career progression opportunities

- Regular, predictable working hours
- A setting that truly values and listens to the needs of it's practitioners
We know great practitioners make all the difference — and that is why, when you join our team, you will be provided with everything you need to thrive and enjoy coming to work each day because you enjoy the work you do.
Our nursery environment is regularly updated and improved with new resources, art materials are ordered weekly to support learning experiences and we arrange regular external visitors to bring learning to life.
Further to this, we are registered with a number of local training providers to support you in gaining further qualification that will help you in your career progression.
If you are ready to work with a team that supports one another and genuinely cares about children in the early years, then we’d love to hear from you.
