This role is perfect for someone who is passionate about supporting child development in the crucial 0-5 years age range and thrives in a fast-paced, nurturing environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan, prepare, and deliver engaging, age-appropriate activities that align with the EYFS framework, promoting all areas of learning and development including personal, social, and emotional skills.
• Provide high-quality care that meets the individual needs of each child, including feeding, changing, and supporting nap times, while maintaining impeccable hygiene and safety standards.
• Observe, assess, and accurately record each child's progress and development, contributing to learning journals and liaising effectively with parents and carers during handovers.
• Work collaboratively as part of a dedicated room team, supporting colleagues and contributing to a positive, inclusive, and stimulating nursery environment.
• Ensure all safeguarding and child protection policies and procedures are followed rigorously, prioritising the welfare of the children at all times.

What We're Looking For

• A recognised Level 2 or Level 3 Early Years Educator qualification (or equivalent) is essential, along with a solid understanding and practical experience of the EYFS.
• Proven experience as a Nursery Nurse, Early Years Practitioner, or in a similar childcare role, with excellent references.
• A genuine passion for early childhood education, demonstrated through a patient, caring, and enthusiastic approach.
• Enhanced DBS check on the update service (or willingness to obtain one immediately) and up-to-date paediatric first aid certification.
