Basingstoke, United Kingdom The Watership Down Nursery Full time

At The Watership Down Nursery & Preschool, nestled in the beautiful Laverstoke, we cherish the beauty of childhood in its natural form. Our ethos is built around a family-like atmosphere where babies, toddlers, and preschool children play, explore, and grow together under the canopy of nature. We are seeking a dedicated Nursery Practitioner with a passion for outdoor learning and a heartfelt belief in the benefits of mixed-age groups interacting in a forest school-inspired setting.

**The Role**:
As a Nursery Practitioner in our unique setting, you will have the joy and responsibility of guiding our mixed-age group through their early years' journey in an outdoor context. You'll craft an environment where little ones can safely explore together, learning from each other and the natural world around them.

- Develop and deliver outdoor activities that cater to a wide range of developmental stages, from babies to preschoolers, ensuring inclusive, engaging experiences for all.
- Foster a culture of care, learning, and mutual respect among children of different ages, encouraging older children to support the younger ones and vice versa.
- Observe and document the development of each child, recognizing the unique learning journey they are on, in partnership with their mixed-age peers.
- Ensure the highest levels of safety and well-being for all children during outdoor activities, adapting to the varied needs of babies, toddlers, and preschoolers.
- Work closely with colleagues and parents to share the joys and milestones of children’s development in our mixed-age, outdoor learning environment.

**Requirements**:

- NVQ Level 3 or equivalent in Childcare and Education, ideally with experience or training in forest school education.
- Demonstrated experience in nurturing and educating mixed-age groups, particularly in an outdoor setting.
- Good understanding of the EYFS framework, with the ability to tailor activities to a broad developmental spectrum.
- Passionate about outdoor education and committed to fostering a love of nature in children from the earliest age.
- Enhanced DBS check.

**Benefits**:

- Competitive salary and benefits package.
- Continuous professional development opportunities, including specialized training in mixed-age and outdoor education.
- Being part of a supportive, family-oriented team where your contributions have a direct impact on children’s lifelong love of learning and nature.
- The joy of working in a dynamic outdoor setting where every day is an adventure and an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children.
