Are you passionate about nurturing little minds and helping them flourish through play? We're a friendly, close-knit village preschool looking for a Level 3 (or above) Early Years Practitioner to join our dedicated team.
We believe that childhood should be full of curiosity, discovery, and joy - and we're looking for someone who feels the same. Our approach is play-based, child-led, and rooted in strong, loving relationships through the Key Person system.
What We're Looking For:
A warm and enthusiastic individual who loves working with young children
Someone proactive, reliable, and a real team player
A nurturing presence who builds strong bonds with children and families
A passion for early years education and a desire to keep growing professionally
A deep understanding of the EYFS and child development
You'll be supported by a lovely team who value each other's ideas and contributions. We offer a welcoming environment, where every child - and every team member - is seen, heard, and celebrated.
The Details:
Working hours: 8am to 4pm
Days: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday
Term time only
If this sounds like the place for you, we'd love to hear from you! Come and be part of something special in our beautiful village setting.
