Nursery Practitioner – Level 2 or Level 3
£29,670 per year | 40 Hours per Week
Children don't separate their day into "learning" and "play", they're discovering something new in almost everything they do.
This established nursery embraces that approach, creating an Early Years environment where play, relationships and everyday experiences are all opportunities for development. Whether it's a conversation over lunch, investigating something new in the room or learning to do something independently for the first time, practitioners are encouraged to recognise and build on those moments.
We're looking for a Level 2 or Level 3 Nursery Practitioner to become part of the team. You'll have the opportunity to work with different age groups, build meaningful relationships with children and develop your Early Years career within a setting that offers clear progression into senior and Room Leader positions.
