. The setting will care for 2 to 4 year-olds, with a focus on developing multilingual and multicultural understanding. It will have a maximum capacity of 20 children until August 2028.
We are looking for an experienced
Senior Early Years Practitioner
passionate about early childhood education. The ideal candidate will support the nursery manager in leading the classroom, planning activities, and nurturing each child's emotional and cognitive development through rich, bilingual experiences.
Why The Language Nursery?
In most UK nurseries, there is little to none multilingual education. Yet, science has proven that the period between 2 and 5 years old is the most crucial for language development. Children who are exposed to many languages during this period experience a multitude of benefits as they grow - from fostering confidence and an open mindset, to having a remarkable aptitude for grasping new languages and cultures with ease.
Our mission is to be the best chain of nurseries for multilingual education in the UK. We aim to create an enriching environment where children naturally learn not only English but also other cultures and languages, such as Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, etc.
Our curriculum is inspired by the environments of multilingual families and is designed to help children develop a strong understanding of different languages, without even noticing that they're doing it.
