Job description

Nursery Practitioner Level 2 / Level 3 – Brand-New Nursery – Northolt

Location: Northolt, West London, UB5

Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

Nursery Practitioner – Level 2 or Level 3 Qualified

Are you a passionate Nursery Practitioner, Early Years Educator or Nursery Nurse looking for an exciting new opportunity?

We're opening a beautiful, brand-new, family-run nursery in Northolt, West London, and we're looking for enthusiastic, caring and creative Nursery Practitioners to join our team from the very beginning.

This isn't your typical nursery opportunity!

We're a small, independent, family-run business with big ambitions. Our vision is to create a warm, welcoming and nurturing environment where children feel happy, safe and excited to learn, and where our staff genuinely enjoy coming to work.

We're looking for people who love working with children, enjoy bringing new ideas to the table and want to be part of building something special.

Whether you're an experienced Level 3 Nursery Practitioner or a Level 2 Early Years Practitioner looking to develop your career, we'd love to hear from you!

Why Join Our Nursery?

Unlike joining an established nursery chain, you'll have the opportunity to be part of a brand-new setting where your ideas, creativity and experience are genuinely valued.

You’ll work alongside supportive, approachable owners who want to create a positive working environment where everyone feels appreciated.

What makes this opportunity different?

• Brand-new nursery: Be part of an exciting new setting from day one and help create a wonderful environment for children.
• Family-run environment: Join a small, independent business where you're treated as an individual, not just another employee.
• Your ideas matter: Bring your creativity, introduce exciting activities and help shape the nursery's daily experiences.
• Supportive management: Work with approachable owners and a team who genuinely care about staff wellbeing.
• Career progression: Opportunities to develop your skills and take on additional responsibilities as the nursery grows.
• Fresh start: Help create a positive team culture, build relationships and establish exciting new routines.
• Make a difference: Play an important role in children's early development, confidence and happiness.

The Role

As a Nursery Practitioner, you'll play an important part in creating a safe, stimulating and nurturing environment for children.

You’ll work closely with the Nursery Manager and other Early Years Practitioners to deliver high-quality childcare and education in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

Your responsibilities will include:

• Providing high-quality care and education for children in the nursery.
• Planning and delivering fun, creative and age-appropriate learning activities.
• Supporting children's development in line with the EYFS framework.
• Creating a warm, welcoming and inclusive environment where every child feels valued.
• Observing, assessing and recording children's learning and development.
• Building positive relationships with parents, carers and colleagues.
• Supporting children's emotional, social and physical development.
• Maintaining high standards of safeguarding, health and safety, and hygiene.
• Working collaboratively with the nursery team to ensure the smooth running of the setting.
• Bringing fresh ideas and enthusiasm to help develop our new nursery.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for Nursery Practitioners who are kind, enthusiastic, reliable and genuinely passionate about working with young children.

You’ll need:

• A recognised Level 2 or Level 3 qualification in Early Years, Childcare or Early Years Education.
• Previous experience working in a nursery, preschool or Early Years setting.
• Good knowledge of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
• An understanding of safeguarding and child protection procedures.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
• A positive, caring and proactive attitude.
• A genuine passion for supporting children's learning and development.
• Creativity, enthusiasm and a willingness to contribute new ideas.

Above all, we're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys working with children and wants to be part of a happy, supportive nursery team.

Ready for Something New?

If you're looking for a Nursery Practitioner role where you'll feel valued, supported and encouraged to grow, this could be the perfect opportunity.

We're not looking for people who simply want to turn up, follow a routine and go home.

We want passionate Early Years professionals who are excited about helping us create a nursery that children love attending, parents trust and staff are proud to be part of.

This is your chance to join a brand-new, family-run nursery in Northolt and be part of something special from day one.
