Nursery Nurse (Early Years Educator)

We currently have opportunities for passionate and ambitious Early Years Educators to join our team to ensure the successful running of the nursery.

Our campus offers a safe environment to enrich the children's development − from woodland walks and trips to see the ducks at our pond, to experiencing the energy within our sports village. We offer a safe, caring and stimulating environment where children can learn and develop to their full potential. Every child at the Nursery is seen as an individual, and we support all needs, abilities and interests.

You will play a key role in assisting the team in providing high quality childcare and education appropriate to the age and stage of development of the children, work to maintain a safe, secure and caring environment, be required to complete tasks in line with the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage, and maintain children's records and carry out assessments, ensuring all policies and procedures are adhered to and implemented in the Nursery.

A core responsibility is planning and providing safe, appropriate, child-led and adult initiated experiences, activities and play opportunities indoor, outdoor and in out-of-setting contexts, which enable children to develop and learn. You will support the Room Leader acting as a role model in supervising and monitoring Nursery Assistants, casual workers, students and volunteers.
