Childcare Practitioner Level 3

Location: Beddington

We are a small and truly unique childcare setting, and what makes us special is our warm, supportive, and genuinely passionate team. Our nursery is cosy and homely the kind of place where everyone knows each other well and where children feel safe, loved, and happy. We care for just 8 children in our 12 room, 8 toddlers, and 8 preschoolers , which keeps our days calm, personal, and meaningful.

Our team of six is close-knit, friendly, and always ready to support one another. Were positive, enthusiastic, and we all share a deep love for early years. We often say our nursery is a hidden gem , and to us, it truly feels like a second home . In fact, in the last 10 years, weve only opened a couple of positions people simply love being part of our little family.

If you read this and feel, Yes, this sounds like my kind of place, then we would be genuinely excited to hear from you.
