Level 3 EYFS Practitioner Part-time or Full-time | Flexible Opportunities Available

Tiny wellies, muddy adventures, story time giggles, and plenty of fresh air. Sound like your kind of day?

We’re working with a truly lovely nursery that feels more like a little community than a workplace. It’s the sort of place where children are encouraged to explore, climb, discover and get wonderfully messy. With a huge outdoor space, a brilliant Forest School programme, and a warm, welcoming team, this is a nursery where both children and staff genuinely enjoy being.

They’re looking for a caring and enthusiastic Level 3 EYFS Practitioner to join the team, either part-time or full-time. Whether you love leading creative activities, building strong relationships with little learners, or embracing the great outdoors in all weather (yes, even the drizzle), this could be the role for you.

What your days could look like:

• Supporting children through play-based learning and everyday discoveries • Creating a safe, happy, and nurturing environment • Helping children grow in confidence and curiosity • Making the most of the nursery’s fantastic outdoor spaces and Forest School activities • Working as part of a friendly team that genuinely supports one another

What we’re looking for:

• Level 3 Early Years qualification (or equivalent) is essential • A warm, positive approach and a love for working with children • Someone who enjoys getting stuck in and being part of a team • Strong understanding of the EYFS framework

Paediatric First Aid?

No worries if you haven’t got it yet. We’ve got an upcoming Paediatric First Aid course available, so we can help you get that box ticked too.
