During icy weather, you will help with clearing and gritting walkways.

If you love getting children involved in meaningful and rewarding activities such as den building, forest school and growing plants and vegetables then this job is 100% for youWorking hours will be mutually agreed with yourself and the Nursery Manager and will vary according to the needs of the setting.
