Are you passionate about inspiring young minds, creating magical learning experiences, and making every day an adventure?

Buttons at ABC Pre-School is looking for a caring, enthusiastic, and dedicated Early Years Practitioner to join our friendly team. This is initially a maternity cover position, but for the right person there may be an exciting opportunity for a permanent contract.

Why Choose Buttons?

Buttons is entering an exciting new chapter as part of Archbishop Courtenay Primary School. This partnership brings fantastic opportunities for our children, families, and staff, and we're delighted to be expanding our team with someone who shares our passion for early years education.

At Buttons, no two days are the same! One day you might be exploring nature outdoors, the next helping children discover their creativity through messy play, storytelling, music, and imaginative adventures.

What You'll Be Doing

Supporting children to learn, play, and grow in a safe and nurturing environment.

Creating engaging activities that spark curiosity and imagination.

Building positive relationships with children, families, and colleagues.

Helping every child feel valued, confident, and ready to thrive.

Contributing to our fun, vibrant, and inclusive pre-school community.

We're Looking for Someone Who Is

Passionate about working with young children.

Warm, caring, and enthusiastic.

A great team player with excellent communication skills.

Committed to providing outstanding early years experiences.

Qualified in Early Years (relevant childcare qualification preferred).

What We Offer

A welcoming and supportive team.

The opportunity to be part of an exciting period of growth and development.

Be part of the team at Archbishop Courtenay Primary School.

A rewarding role where you can make a real difference every day.

The possibility of a permanent position following the maternity cover period.

Come and Be Part of Something Special

If you are ready to bring your energy, creativity, and passion to a setting where children are at the heart of everything we do, we'd love to hear from you.

Join Buttons at ABC Pre-School and help us create wonderful beginnings for every child.
