We value the dedication and expertise of our Level 3 Practitioners.

This bonus will be paid after just 6 months of service, making it the perfect time to join our team and be recognized for your qualifications and contributions.

About Us:

It would suit a candidate who could drive due to the location of the nursery. This converted barn building is set in a beautiful rural location surrounded by fields. Fradley Nursery is a converted barn building where children from birth to 5 years can explore, learn, and develop through the many activities and resources available to promote learning through play. We love the outdoors, and our nursery features open spaces for our children; they also experience outdoor learning in our bespoke forest school facility.

We are: Defined by Family. We are a family by name, and we are a family by nature too. We are defined in many different ways, by many different people. Different cultures. Different ideas. Different ages, genders and skillsets. While every individual will have their own definition of family, these definitions all come together to show Family First for who we are.

This position would suit an experienced Nursery Practitioner who has previously worked in a similar environment caring for children aged between 0 - 5 years and is looking for an exciting career opportunity.
