We are a small, homely preschool nestled in the heart of our community, where children are encouraged to explore, discover, and grow at their own pace. Inspired by nature and guided by curiosity, we provide a calm and nurturing space where play, imagination, and connection flourish.

  • A kind, patient, and reflective practitioner
  • Passionate about outdoor play and natural learning environments
  • Experience with or interest in child-led and play-based approaches
  • A team player with a sense of humour and a big heart

Why Join Us?

  • Small team with a strong sense of community
  • Beautiful setting with outdoor space and a focus on nature
  • Opportunities for professional development and training
  • Supportive, child-centred ethos
  • Competitive salary (based on experience and qualifications)

We believe children deserve practitioners who see the world through their eyes. If you're ready to make a meaningful impact in a setting that feels like home, we'd love to meet you.
