Job Description

Company description



We are a small childcare setting with a home from home ethos. We are situated in the centre of Littleborough. We consist of 12 early years practitioners caring for 45 children per day. All practice is lead and overseen by a qualified early years professional holding a degree in early childhood studies, supported by a newly appointed deputy manager with a teaching degree. We care for and educate children from 0-11 years in a homely environment, using our local community to teach children about the world in which we live. At the Railway House we believe in different age groups mixing together so children can support and learn from each other. This replicates a natural family environment.
