Job Summary

We are looking for a qualified Early Years Educator (you must hold a Full & Relevant Level 2 or 3 Early Years qualification to apply).

Our lovely team need an extra person to support them with providing consistent care and learning opportunities in our small, family-owned single setting.

We are small but busy and are very fussy when selecting new team members! If you can convince us that you have what it takes to be the extra smile at our door, please continue to read and find out more. 

We are based on farmland and have the most beautiful surroundings, which allow us to have our very own Forest School. Families share that they choose us for our consistent team and purposeful outdoor areas. They comment on the rare situation of touring a calm and nurturing setting that has a real 'extended family' feel. If you are passionate, positive and professional, take a look at our website, the 360 virtual tour and send us an email for an information pack. We are happy to show shortlisted candidates around the setting to help with the success of this recruitment process. 

We would prefer a full-time team member, but may consider 3 days for the right candidate *Pay would be adjusted to contracted hours.

We are open all year, with the only closures of Bank Holidays and the week between Christmas and New Year. Unfortunately, we do not employ term-time only or school hours. We are open from 8 am - 6 pm, and staff work 3 or 4 full days (full-time staff have a rota day off each week). 

Look at the reviews on our website; they include family comments, and our Testimonials section includes past staff feedback. 

What are you waiting for? Click on the website and see for yourself why we love our little nursery and why you should take the leap of faith and apply!

We are committed to equality and inclusion. For safer recruitment, all employees must hold a clear DBS and provide two positive references before employment can commence.
