Sutton Coldfield, United Kingdom Ducklings Private Nursery Full time

Ducklings is an exciting and forward-thinking Nursery. We are looking for an Educator to support our Preschool team, in our 35 space nursery based on a school site.

Ideally someone who passionate about bringing their curriculum to life and wants to be part of a team that is dedicated to the magic of teaching children how to learn and not what to learn.

We are committed to providing a high quality service through our curriculum and hope to recruit people who are equally passionate about implementing the latest research around building children’s brains. The world has changed rapidly - unfortunately education has stood still.

We are here to change that.

We are a small nursery with a sister site in Nottingham and have a family feel within our team. We don't work like the big chains where you are just a number. Every member of our team counts.

We offer amazing face to face training opportunities - all training, staff meetings and staff DBS paid for.
