  • At least 1 year of experience working in a nursery setting

    
    

  • Previous leadership experience (desirable but not essential)

    
    

  • Strong knowledge of the EYFS, safeguarding, and child development

    
    

  • A genuine passion for early years education and care

    
    

    What’s on Offer:

    • Full-time, permanent position

      
      

    • Competitive salary (dependent on experience)

      
      

    • Supportive and friendly team
