  • Has proven experience working with the 0-5 age range in a formal nursery setting.

  • Possesses a thorough knowledge of the EYFS and statutory requirements.

  • Shows strong initiative , with the ability to lead activities and mentor junior staff.

Key Responsibilities

  • Environment: Create an inviting, educational indoor and outdoor space that sparks curiosity.

  • Relationship Building: Act as a professional point of contact for parents regarding their child's development.

  • Safety & Care: Maintain impeccable standards of health and safety, assisting with personal care and mealtime routines with dignity.
