• Observation and assessment: Support each child's development through observations, assessments and individual planning.
• Environment and outdoor learning: Create calm, stimulating spaces for child-led exploration, and support Forest School sessions and outdoor learning.
• Relationships and teamwork: Build warm relationships with children, parents and colleagues, and help develop practice as the nursery grows.
• Safeguarding: Maintain high standards of safeguarding, health and safety, and personal care.

About you:

• Qualified: You hold a recognised Level 3 qualification in Early Years Education or Childcare.
• EYFS knowledge: You have a strong understanding of the EYFS and child development.
