L3 Nursery Practitioner

Job Description: Level 3 Nursery Practitioner

Salary: £27,352.00 per annum

Hours: 40 hours per week

Ellingham Day Nursery are seeking a skilled and passionate Room Leader to join their dedicated team.

About us: 

Ellingham House Day Nursery is set idyllically in a Georgian country house surrounded by 2.5 acres of lawns and woodland. In this safe space, our children have the opportunity to explore, stretch, and run as well as practice their climbing and balancing skills in the ever popular ‘bear cave’. The paddock is home to our friendly Valais Black Nose sheep- Baarbara and Soozie. The children help the team care for them and learn how to stay safe around animals. The nursery has a real ‘home from home’ feel, with welcoming rooms specifically suited to babies, toddlers and preschoolers.

The nursery is open 8:00am-6:00pm and we would require you to work a minimum of 40 hours per week within those hours. Please note the nursery is not a term time only nursery.

If you are dedicated to supporting children and their families to thrive, creating exciting and engaging play and learning opportunities and being a part of a supportive team then apply today to come and join us.
