You will communicate effectively with parents and carers, offering constructive feedback on children’s achievements and development, and working together to meet each child’s needs. We are seeking someone who is proactive, flexible and committed to their own professional growth. The successful candidate will uphold all safeguarding, health and safety and equality requirements, ensuring that our nursery remains a safe, inclusive and supportive environment for all children. You will also play an important part in maintaining high standards across the provision, including preparing learning materials, organising resources and assisting with day-to-day nursery routines.
