Whether you hop on a train to the Science Museum, take a bus to make friends at a nearby LEYF nursery, or bake with your nursery chef, it’s always about the children in our nurseries.

You will need:

• The right to work in the UK
• Level 3 or above childcare qualification
• The ability to lead a ratio‑bound team and build strong relationships
• An ability to safeguard and protect children
