Little Stars is an all-year-round setting with a large, supportive team. Our under-twos unit consists of two dedicated rooms – a baby room and a toddler room – alongside an outdoor garden space where children can explore, play and learn.

Key responsibilities

• Provide high-quality care and education, supporting each child’s individual needs, interests and development.


• Create a warm, welcoming and stimulating environment that encourages curiosity, exploration and learning through play.


• Set up engaging activities and learning opportunities, ensuring rooms and resources are organised, safe and ready for the children.

• Follow all health and safety, safeguarding and childcare policies and procedures to ensure every child’s safety and wellbeing.


• Work collaboratively with colleagues, contributing positively to the team and helping to maintain a happy, inclusive and supportive nursery environment.

At Little Stars, we believe every child deserves the very best start in life. We are looking for a practitioner who will bring kindness, patience, creativity and enthusiasm to our team, helping us create a place where children feel loved, confident and excited to learn.
