**About** Archway Nursery School**

**About you**

You are a **Level 2 or above qualified, **Early Years Educator / Practitioner / Nursery Nurse or similar who enjoys supporting and encouraging the natural curiosity and excitement of young children. In other words, you were born to teach and shape the future of our younger generations.

You have a natural, nurturing, openness, a warm and positive outlook, and you care about learning and education standards in the UK.

**What you'll be doing**
You’ll be helping to provide cover for the children as and when needed. This could be for periods of holiday, sickness, or even vacancy gaps. Sometimes you'll support for a full day, or it may just be a morning or afternoon session.

You'll likely start most of your days with a fully formulated plan.... That will soon get completely derailed though... Pivoting when the circumstances call for it is a regular occurrence in child care

Creativity is key. Teaching young children allows for hands on arts and crafts, storytelling, exercise, and educational games. It’s important to keep things fresh and try new activities to keep attention spans engaged. Of course we work within the EYFS standards, but that doesn't stop you from engaging your creative flair and enthusiasm for learning.

- Experience as an Early Years Educator (Nursery Nurse/Practitioner) or having worked with children under the age of 5, is advantageous
- Knowledge and understanding of the EYFS is desirable
- Reflecting the Storal values around responsibility, openness and working together

**What you'll get**
- Competitive rates of pay dependent on experience, qualification and NMW age guidance
- Performance related bonuses
- 50% childcare discount
- Annual wellness day off
- Access to retail and other discounts through Perkbox
- 20 days holidays (plus bank holiday), increasing to 22 days after 2 years service and 25 days after 5 years service
- Dedicated learning and development support
- Access to one-to-one confidential counselling sessions through our Employee Assistance Programme

**About us**
This nursery is part of Storal, a group of nurseries across England. It is our vision at Storal to be the nursery group that every family and educator wants to be part of. Our values are built around creating this environment for teams and children. We believe in high standards, praising each other, pulling together as a team whilst actively helping others to grow and that’s only the beginning of the story. We do what we say we do and if you align with this approach, then a Storal nursery is the place for you.
