Oaklea House Day Nursery is a family run Day Nursery located in the heart of Hook.
We are rated 'Good' by Ofsted and provide care for up to 110 children a day aged between 3months- 4 years.
We are proud to have a 5* Environmental Health Rating and an Award of Excellence. We also have a wonderful Chef who currently prepares all meals from scratch and caters to all dietary requirements and allergies.
We have a passion for healthy, nutritious and delicious home cooked meals and realise the importance of giving children opportunities to explore as many different types of food as possible whilst in our care.
Our kitchen is the hub of the nursery and a wonderful environment to work in.
Due to upcoming maternity leave from September 2026, we are looking for a kind individual to join our team as Kitchen Assistant to support our Chef with kitchen clean up and some meal prep between the hours of 10-3 Monday to Friday (25 hours) year round.
A lovely role, you will be required to assist with the smooth running of the kitchen during our busiest hours. This will include helping deliver meals to each nursery room, using the dishwasher to wash up plates and utensils, maintain high standards of hygiene and to support with simple prep for meals later in the day.
For an advanced candidate, there is the opportunity to don your whites and support in the full cooking and coverage of the kitchen during our Chef's annual leave periods. This would be confirmed in advance and we have a menu to follow for ease.
A valid food hygiene certificate and allergy awareness training would be ideal, but can be provided. Any offers of employment are subject to DBS and reference checks.
Whether you are starting out in your catering career, or are looking for a more relaxed part time role, this is a great role.
We look forward to your application.
