This is a group that puts real thought into how children learn, with Forest School, yoga and daily mindfulness sessions sitting alongside the usual EYFS curriculum. It's a "family feel" environment, and it's earned them a run of Nursery World awards and finalist placings over the years. As a Practitioner, you'll be a key person to your own group of children, building the kind of relationships with them and their families that make a real difference.

Key responsibilities:

• Care and development: Provide high-quality, inclusive care and education for children from birth to five, in line with the EYFS statutory framework.
• Planning and assessment: Carry out observations, assessments and next-step planning, using these to support children's individual learning journeys.
• Safeguarding: Follow safeguarding and child protection procedures, reporting any concerns to the Designated Safeguarding Lead without delay.
• Partnership working: Build strong relationships with parents and carers, sharing information professionally and encouraging learning at home.

About you:

• Qualified: Level 2 or Level 3 qualification in Childcare or Early Years Education.
• Experienced: Experience working with children in an early years setting.
• Knowledgeable: Good understanding of the EYFS and safeguarding policies and procedures.
• A team player: A proactive, positive approach to working as part of a nursery team.

What's in it for you:

• A pay rate of £13.20-£14 per hour, dependent on experience.
• Ongoing training and genuine progression within an award-winning company.
• The chance to be a key part of a well-established, well-regarded nursery group.
