Where You'll Be Working

The nursery in Rugby is a carefully planned, purpose-built nursery which offers a stimulating and engaging learning environment for our community's children. The nursery was opened at the end of 2021. The nursery is light and airy even on cloudy days and we are fortunate to have an allotment space for the children to develop a lifelong love and understanding of sustainable planting and growing. The Old Station Nursery Houlton is in close proximity to Houlton Play Park and the new Co-op, with easy access to the main Crick Road and a car park right next door.

One moment you could be building dens outdoors and the next you'll be helping bring story time to life.

You'll support children through play, creativity, curiosity, and connection while helping create a safe, nurturing environment where they feel happy, valued, and confident to explore.
