Are you an enthusiastic and dedicated Early Years professional looking for your next role? We are seeking a passionate Nursery Practitioner to join our dedicated team near Balcombe Station.

• Convenient Location: Easily accessible, situated just a short distance from Balcombe Station.

• Flexible Hours: Full-time hours of 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM are highly desirable, but we are happy to consider a afternoon shift of 12:00 PM - 6:00 PM for the right candidate.

• Professional Growth: A supportive team environment with opportunities for continuous professional development and further training.

We are looking for energetic, caring, and reliable individuals who:

• Hold a Level 3 (ideal) or Level 2 recognised qualification in Early Years/Childcare.

• Have a strong understanding of the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) framework.

• Are enthusiastic, highly reliable, and dedicated to providing top-tier childcare.

• Possess excellent communication skills, strong team-working abilities, and a positive attitude.

• Are fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.

• Plan, deliver, and assess high-quality, play-based activities inline with the EYFS.

• Provide high-quality general care, supervision, and emotional support to children aged 0-5.
