Summary
We are excited to announce the opening of our brand-new nursery in January, nestled in the beautiful countryside. Our setting is designed to feel like a warm, welcoming home-from-home, with space for just 24 children each day. With higher staff-to-child ratios than standard, we are creating an environment where children and educators alike can thrive.
We believe in giving our team time to breathe, reflect and reset – which is why every day ends with paid reflection time, so you can close each day feeling supported, valued, and prepared for tomorrow.
With a strong emphasis on outdoor play and nature-based learning, we are looking for nurturing, loving, and passionate educators to help us create an inspiring and caring environment for our children.
About the Role
As a Nursery Educator, you will:
Provide high-quality care, learning and development opportunities for children aged 0–5.
Build strong, nurturing relationships with children and families.
Encourage curiosity and creativity through outdoor exploration and play-based learning.
Work collaboratively with a small, supportive team in a beautiful countryside setting.
Contribute ideas to shape our brand-new setting and bring our ethos to life.
Take part in daily reflection time with colleagues to reset, share, and grow together.
What We’re Looking For
A caring, nurturing personality with a genuine love for working with children.
Passion for outdoor play, child-led learning, and nature-inspired experiences.
A team player who is kind, reflective, and open to learning.
Level 2/3 in Early Years Education (or working towards this) preferred, but we also welcome applications from those with experience and passion who are eager to train.
What We Offer
A beautiful countryside nursery environment with a strong outdoor learning ethos.
Small group sizes with higher staff-to-child ratios than standard.
Paid reflection time at the end of every day.
Opportunities for training, growth, and involvement in shaping a brand-new nursery.
A supportive, passionate team that values wellbeing, creativity, and joy in learning.
