Job Description

We are looking for Bank staff for regular work at our Horsham nursery sites, located in Faygate, Southwater and West Grinstead

What does this role require?

As bank nursery assistant, you will be fun and exciting with bundles of energy and not afraid of a little dirt (we are a group of Forest and Farm School Nurseries after all!)

You'll need to have the ability to work as part of a team, and be prepared to step in where needed to support your colleagues.

Experience working in childcare would be a bonus, but a willingness to enjoy spending time with children aged 3 months - 5 years is essential.

The role of the Nursery Assistant

Bank Nursery assistants are crucial to the smooth running of our nurseries on a daily basis, covering staff sickness and holidays, and supporting where required.

You'll be responsible for contributing to the happiness and wellbeing of all children.

Our nurseries are predominantly child-lead and our curriculum is emergent, so you'll have to think on your feet and support learning in the moment.
