Little Dragons has been awarded Outstanding by Ofsted and, as a wonderfully unique setting, we are looking for an enthusiastic, effective and experienced practitioner who enjoys working as part of a passionate team to cover maternity leave with a possibility of becoming permanent. As a rural setting, we need someone who loves working in a healthy, outdoor Forest School environment where children take the lead and the staff add the sparkle. We are friendly, quirky and positive and believe in making the nursery a happy and fun place to be.
Job Type / Category
We are offering four days per week, all year round, from 8am to 6pm, from June to December 2025.
Required Education, Skills and Qualifications
Level 3 is preferred, although Level 2 will be considered.
Benefits
Little Dragons constantly encourages both personal and professional development, and provides mentoring and support whilst training. We encourage everyone to follow their dreams and achieve their goals. Where possible we offer a reduced rate for staff children so that parents and children are not separated. Because we're closed on Fridays, we have a long weekend EVERY weekend, which means we enjoy a much healthier work-life balance. We allow everyone to have their birthday off, as an extra holiday, and we let people go home early if and when numbers allow. Come and see for yourself ... Little Dragons really is quite unusual.
