Job Description

We are a big Nursery and are very lucky to be set within some beautifully large grounds, perfect for our Forest School sessions and lots of outdoor play and outside adventures. Our site includes a self-contained chalet building with enclosed garden for 0-2 years, and a characterful Main House with free-flow outdoor spaces for 2-5 years, both buildings overlook the gardens and playing field. Our Hygge (pronounced Hu-gah) approach is about bringing the children joy, wonder and comfort, enabling them to be happy and settled to explore and learn, so we promote this through our comfortable and homely environment.

We would love for an enthusiastic and motivated staff member to join our outstanding team and to promote our approach by encouraging happiness, intrigue and excitement in their activities by following the children's individual sparks and interests. Experience and enjoyment of working with children is therefore essential.

We are ideally looking for someone with experience of being a key person and maintaining and completing learning journeys that support the children's development and learning; and a good knowledge of child development from birth to 5 years and the EYFS is preferred.

As a big team, communication is vital within the setting, and an approachable attitude with the ability to communicate clearly and develop relationships with children, their families, colleagues and outside agencies is essential. We are looking for a capable practitioner who can work on their own initiative but can also work collaboratively and positively as part of the existing team.

A current paediatric first aid certificate and rolling DBS certificate would be an advantage.

If you feel you have the qualities and skills we are looking for, please request an application pack via email with a covering letter.

Charters Ancaster Nursery is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and requires staff and volunteers to share this.
