Summary

Early Years Practitioner - Nursery (Kensal Rise)
Temp to Perm | Immediate Start | £95-£110 per day

Are you passionate about Early Years education? Do you thrive in a nurturing, play‑based environment where children's curiosity and wellbeing come first? Are you looking for a long‑term role where you can grow, contribute and be part of a committed EYFS team? If so, this Nursery position in Brent could be an excellent fit.

Early Years Environment

The Nursery team is warm, collaborative and deeply committed to giving every child the strongest possible start. The setting blends purposeful play, outdoor learning, early communication development and high‑quality continuous provision. Staff work closely together to create a safe, stimulating and joyful environment where children feel confident, supported and ready to explore.

Role Responsibilities

You will be based in the Nursery class, supporting children aged 3-4 with their early learning, routines and personal development. Responsibilities include:
- Supporting high‑quality play‑based learning and early communication
- Leading small‑group and 1:1 activities
- Assisting with observations, assessments and next steps
- Supporting personal care, routines and wellbeing
- Helping maintain a warm, inclusive and engaging learning environment
- Working closely with the class teacher and wider EYFS team
- Modelling positive relationships and encouraging independence and confidence

Essential Requirements
- A relevant Level 2 or Level 3 Early Years qualification (DfE‑compliant)
- A DBS on the Update Service
- Experience working in an EYFS setting, ideally Nursery
- Strong communication, initiative and organisational skills
- A genuine passion for Early Years education
- Experience with vulnerable children or 2‑year‑old provision is desirable but not essential

Why This Role Stands Out

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a dedicated Early Years team in Kensal Rise and make a meaningful impact during a crucial stage of children's development. It offers a clear long‑term pathway for someone who loves Early Years and wants to grow within a supportive, high‑quality Nursery environment.
