A bit about the role

"We are friends, we are like family. We support one another." - Elizabeth, Early Years Practitioner

You love helping children develop and learn. You are warm, positive, adaptable, and eager to provide the best educational experiences for children.

All LEYF nurseries share a unique teaching model, but you will have the creative freedom to tailor activities to children's learning styles. Whether visiting the Science Museum, making friends at other LEYF nurseries, or baking with the nursery chef, your focus is always on the children.

You will need:

• The right to work in the UK
• The ability to safeguard and protect children
• A positive, adaptable, and friendly attitude
