Nurture Lead Practitioner

Babies and Toddlers · 34 hours, 4-day week

Wildnest is a brand-new nursery opening in Laurencekirk this autumn - and we’re looking for a special someone to help us care for our very youngest children from the very beginning.

From the very first day, you’ll be one of the people who builds the culture here - shaping how we care for our babies and toddlers, and how it feels for families to walk through our doors. If you’re calm, gentle, and you believe that connection comes before everything else, we’d love to meet you.

The role

As our Nurture Lead Practitioner you’ll take the lead in our baby and toddler room, and supervise our Nurture Practitioners day to day. It’s a hands-on, people-first job. Day to day, you’ll:

Lead the day-to-day care of our babies and toddlers, setting the tone for warm, responsive practice in the room
Plan rich, playful activities suited to babies and toddlers, in line with the relevant curriculum
Follow each child’s individual routines - feeding, sleep, and comfort - so babies and toddlers feel safe and known
Support mealtimes and snack times with patience, warmth, and encouragement
Build close, nurturing connections with children, acting as a key person families can trust
Support children’s development and keep meaningful records and next steps up to date
Communicate warmly with parents, sharing observations and the small moments that matter
Help children settle and manage gentle transitions, including moving on to the 2-5 room as they grow
Keep the environment clean, safe, and in line with relevant guidance, with safeguarding and child protection always followed
Supervise and support our Nurture Practitioners, modelling great practice and offering day-to-day guidance
Create a cosy, warm, and inviting environment that feels like a home from home
Uphold our nurture principles - and help the team live them too

Our nurture principles matter to us

Nurture sits at the heart of everything we do. We work to the six nurture principles, and we want someone who already feels this deeply - or is excited to grow into it.

1 Children’s learning is understood developmentally

2 The environment offers a safe base

3 Nurture is important for wellbeing and self-esteem

4 Language is a vital means of communication

5 All behaviour is communication

6 Transitions are significant in children’s lives

Who we’re hoping to meet

Above all, we’re hoping to meet you. The right person will be:

Calm, patient, and gentle, with a genuine love of caring for babies and toddlers
Brilliant at building positive relationships with children, families, and colleagues
Someone who understands early attachment and child development, and puts connection first
Confident supporting and guiding others with warmth and kindness
Comfortable and caring with the close, hands-on routines of caring for our youngest children
Excited by the chance to help shape something new from the ground up

What you’ll need

To meet the SSSC registration requirements for a practitioner role
A relevant childcare qualification (SVQ / HNC Level 3 or above),
Ideally nurture-trained, though full training will be provided if not

The package

Pay

Competitive depending on qualifications and experience (discussed at application)

Hours

34 hours per week over a 4-day week

Meetings

One monthly team meeting – out of hours

The best bit

The chance to help shape care for our babies and toddlers from day one

Sound like you?

If you’ve read this and thought “that’s me” - we’d genuinely love to hear from you.
