Looking for an entry level job into childcare ? thinking about getting back into work but not sure what you want to do ?

Over 50 and have a wealth of life experiences to share ?

Wanting to move from your boring desk job to doing something more meaningfull ?

Ducklings is an exciting and forward-thinking Nursery. We are looking for 2 Educators to support our team,

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.
