The role involves being hands-on with the children in the setting (ranging from babies to pre-schoolers), joining in with play, reading stories, singing songs and being alongside the children in their day-to-day activities.

Your role will also involve developing a relationship with the parents and carers of the children and being able to talk to them about all aspects of their child’s day in nursery. As part of the team, you will also be involved in planning activities for the children in your care and maintaining health and hygiene standards as you go about your daily tasks.

Do you have a passion for looking after and developing children, and do you have a full and relevant level 3 qualification or equivalent?
