• Supporting learning through play, creativity and exploration.
• Encouraging children's confidence, independence and development.
• Working alongside friendly nursery teams that value your skills.
• Making every day exciting, whether that's messy play, outdoor adventures or story time.

• Holds a Level 3 qualification in Early Years or Childcare.
• Has experience working within a nursery or early years setting.
• Is caring, enthusiastic and passionate about giving children the very best start.
