York YO NA, United Kingdom Little Peanuts Day Nursery Full time £26,200 - £40,000 per year

Job Overview

We are seeking a dedicated and passionate Nursery Practitioner to join our team. This is initially as maternity cover, but we hope to be able to make this a permanent post.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in early childhood education and a genuine love for working with children. As a Nursery Practitioner, you will play a crucial role in providing high-quality care and education to young children, fostering their development in a safe and nurturing environment. Your ability to communicate effectively with children, parents, and colleagues will be essential in creating a positive atmosphere within the nursery.

Responsibilities

  • Deliver engaging and playful activities that promote children's learning and development.
  • Provide attentive care to children, ensuring their safety and emotional well-being at all times.
  • Be able to communicate effectively with children, encouraging their social skills and emotional growth.
  • Collaborate with colleagues to create an inclusive environment that supports the diverse needs of all children.
  • Manage daily routines, including meal times, nap times, and play.
  • Maintain accurate records of children's progress and development, sharing updates with parents.
  • Lead by example, demonstrating positive behaviour and encouraging children to follow suit.
  • Enhance the nursery's educational offerings and overall environment.

Experience

  • A qualification in Early Childhood Education or equivalent experience in a nursery setting is essential.
  • Proven experience working with children in a childcare or educational environment is highly desirable.
  • Excellent communication skills in English, both verbal and written.
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks while maintaining attention to detail.
  • A genuine passion for childcare and early childhood education is crucial.

Job benefits

Without staff who love coming to work, feel supported in their workplace and are able to be at their best, we cannot support our Little Peanuts children to reach their best. Therefore, we think it is vital to offer all our staff a comprehensive package. This includes:

  • Above average pay package with achievements and new qualifications rewarded.
  • Generous annual leave allocation
  • Provision for sick leave and emergency dependency leave with full pay.
  • Regular supervision meetings with focus on staff well-being across all aspects of nursery life.
  • Time allocated for all staff for continuing professional development, with support for further training and career progression.

We take the safeguarding of children very seriously and the post carries a requirement for an enhanced Disclosure and Barring check.

Our amazing nursery and Forest School set in two acres on the edge of Wheldrake. We train our staff in The Curiosity Approach as well as Language and Communication strategies. Our beautiful and engaging setting is carefully designed to support children's learning through endless play opportunities both indoors and in our 2 acre garden. We provide a really special environment for both children and staff, why not come and have a look?

Please get in touch if you would like to come for a tour.
