Nursery Practitioner

Tree Tots Day Nursery is located in the lovely town of Poynton. We are looking to expand our amazing nursery team, we are looking to appoint a nursery practitioner to support the care and education of our children.

A level 2 or 3 qualification is desirable but we are able to offer training.
- There is nothing like the feeling of watching a six-month-old grow and flourish into an amazing little person all ready, to go to school and start their next big step in the world, and you could be the person to help with this. We are passionate about providing the best care and education for our children._
- For this great post you ideally need to be able to read stories with constant interruptions, creating funny voices and this is while ensuring everyone can see the pictures._
- It would be great if you are willing to create a range of environments sometimes for dinosaurs that need to roam the nursery, at very short notice on the request of a child. A great roar is always helpful. If you are able to move the furniture and turn the room into any location including an airport or the moon, then this is the post for you._
- You need to be willing to dance to random choices of music, this may be outdoors, you need to be happy to work in all kinds of weather including the snow and you need to be eager to explore messy play, of many varieties._
- The ability to head count many moving people is required and great nose-wiping skills are advantageous._
