2 weeks ago


Bristol, United Kingdom Snapdragons Nurseries Ltd Full time

Snapdragons Redland is in a leafy residential conservation area surrounded by greenery, including two children’s parks on the doorstep. Toddlers and preschool children occupy one building each in two beautiful Victorian villas linked by a modern glass atrium. The babies have their own Baby Pod, a single level modern building with access to its own garden areas alongside the main garden. As with all our nurseries the interiors are furnished with natural wooden furniture and high-quality resources to stimulate curiosity and open-ended play. There is a stunning children’s kitchen and bistro dining area and a hall equipped with a stage and indoor climbing feature. This is our largest nursery with capacity for 200 children aged 0-5 years so you will find career opportunities and progression within the large staff team, as well as lots of friends. There is some limited staff parking, but the nursery is very well served by public transport with buses running regularly along all the nearby routes, as well as being just 2 minutes from Redland train station with local lines and a link to Temple Meads.

As Head of Room, you will be an outstanding and inspiring practitioner. You will have the confidence to lead your team, displaying a high level of motivation, a flexible enthusiastic approach and good communication skills. You must be able to provide exceptional early years care in a safe, nurturing and fulfilling environment whilst inspiring children to unlock their full potential through key skills and values which will establish them as gifted citizens of the world.

The post is Full time (4 x 10-hour days). We offer an attractive salary of £22,000 per annum with flexible interview dates available.

You must have a minimum of Level 3 qualification specific to Early Years as defined by the Department for Education, and at least 2 years minimum post qualifying experience.

Our passion for caring doesn’t stop with the children. We believe that happy staff make happy children, so we offer a package of support that you won’t find anywhere else:

- 6.6 weeks paid holiday a year (that's one more than is legally required)
- Nursery closures between Christmas and New Year (meaning never working over the Christmas break)

- Paid paediatric first aid training
