A bit about the role
Spring the Levels is a 36-place nursery based in The Levels Childrens Centre in Langport that offers affordable, high-quality childcare in Somerset, alongside its sister settings.
The nursery is set in a beautiful rural setting within a designated children's centre; where communication between parents, staff, health visitors and children are paramount. Heuristic play both indoors and outdoors is encouraged as we support, scaffold and enhance each child's interests whilst ensuring that close links with Huish Epicopi school and local schools support the transitions for both the children and their families. A creative wraparound deck and newly refurbished outdoor area makes the nursery light, open and inviting.

In the role of Senior Early Years Practitioner, you'll be:

  • Leading the staff within the room on providing learning programmes for individual or groups of children appropriate to their needs and developmental stages in accordance with Early Years legislation and guidance.
  • Ensuring the compliance and application of nursery policies and procedures and relevant legislative requirements, informing management immediately of any instances of non-compliance or variations in practices.
  • Contributing to and participating in the wider nursery management through leading on specific areas of development within the nursery, as directed by the Nursery Manager.
  • Preparing and supervising dedicated areas/rooms within the setting on specific working patterns through planning, monitoring of outcomes, managing ratio of children, and the provision of a stimulating and appropriate range of activities whilst ensuring health and care needs are met.


What we need from you
In the role of Senior Early Years Practitioner, we're ideally looking for someone who has:

  • Level 3 early years and childcare qualification e.g., NNEB, CACHE, NVQ Level 3 in Childcare and Education.
  • A thorough knowledge of children's developmental needs from 0 to 5 years.
  • Experience working and leading in an early year setting.
  • Strong planning, observation and reflection of children and their learning.
  • Effective communication skills across multiple age groups.
  • Paediatric First Aid qualification.

Whether this is a career change for you or the next step in your journey, we'd love to hear from you.
We work together to reach our mission to give children a healthy start in life.
Good luck We can't wait to hear from you.
