Forest Early Years Educator
Oak Wood Forest School – 251a Clapgate Lane, IP3 0RH

Full-time: 38 hours per week, all year round
Salary: £13.50 per hour

Start Date: As soon as possible

Be part of something special — join our permanent Forest School provision

Do you feel at your best outdoors, whatever the weather?
Do you enjoy being active, hands-on, and a little bit muddy?
Are you passionate about helping children grow into confident, capable, and resilient individuals?

If so, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

We are looking for a passionate Early Years Educator to join our growing Forest School team at Oak Wood. Having opened in January 2026, this is an exciting time to join us as we continue to shape and develop our unique, full-time outdoor provision.

Our permanent Forest School offers all-day preschool education within a beautiful woodland environment, complete with bespoke buildings, fire pit areas, and inspiring natural spaces designed to spark curiosity and adventure.

About us
Oak Wood Forest School sits alongside Oak Wood Nursery and is part of the Bows & Arrows Group—a not-for-profit organisation with seven nurseries and one clear mission: to ensure every child flourishes.

We reinvest all profits back into our people, environments, and resources—because exceptional childcare starts with exceptional support.

We believe in outdoor learning all day, every day—rain or shine. This setting brings to life our long-term vision of a dedicated Forest School base where children can explore, take risks, and truly connect with nature.

About the role
As a Forest Early Years Educator, you will work closely with the Forest Senior Educator to support the day-to-day running of our preschool provision (ages 3–4). You will help create a rich, engaging outdoor curriculum where every child can learn through play, exploration, and discovery.

Your role will include:

Planning and delivering engaging, nature-based activities and experiences
Supporting children’s learning and development through play-led, child-centred practice
Using approaches such as HighScope and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to support behaviour and wellbeing
Observing, assessing, and documenting children’s learning journeys
Building strong relationships with parents and carers
Creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating outdoor environment

What you’ll need:

A Level 3 qualification (or above) in Early Years/Childcare
A genuine passion for outdoor learning (Forest School experience desirable but not essential)
Willingness to undertake Forest School training
Strong knowledge of the EYFS and child development
Understanding of safeguarding, SEND, and health & safety in early years
Excellent communication and teamwork skills
A proactive, positive attitude and a sense of adventure

What we offer
We value our team and are committed to supporting your wellbeing and development. As part of Bows & Arrows Group, you’ll benefit from:

Additional leave and sick pay
Casual dress and a relaxed, supportive working environment
Childcare discounts
Regular team and company events
Health and wellbeing programme
Pension scheme
Free on-site parking
The opportunity to be part of an inspiring outdoor setting from the ground up

Most importantly, you’ll have the chance to make a meaningful difference to children’s lives every single day.

Ready to join us?
If you’re ready to embrace outdoor learning and be part of an enthusiastic, forward-thinking team, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply now and start your Forest School journey with us.

Safeguarding
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. All successful applicants will be required to complete an enhanced DBS check and provide satisfactory references.
