We are situated in the heart of Dereham so easily accessible by car or bus. We are a busy setting; accommodating children between 6 weeks and 4.5 years. At the East Dereham Day Nursery we provide high quality childcare and pre-school education which is available to all families in our local community.
In return we can provide you with the opportunity and support to study and gain a level 3 recognised early years qualification with our dedicated training provider.
We would ideally like students who have received previous experience with preschool children and ideally have already gained a level 2 recognised early years qualification as this qualification will be a level 3, however we would be willing to take on an individual with strong desire to want to support and help children, a joy and enthusiasm to work with children, good communication skills and the right energy if they did not have a Level 2 qualification.
The East Dereham Day Nursery is committed to promoting and safeguarding the welfare of children and young people and expects our staff to support this commitment.
