Job description

Love working with little ones but need flexibility? This role’s for you.

We’re on the lookout for friendly, reliable nursery staff to support warm, welcoming early years settings in central London.

This is a supply role, which means you’ll step in when permanent staff are off—ideal if you’re after flexible work, already juggling other commitments, or just want to dip your toes into early years without the full-time tie-in.

You’ll be:

Supporting young learners with play, learning and routines
Jumping in to help with snack time, story time, changes, and everything in between
Bringing calm, kindness, and a big smile

Who this suits:
Perfect for part timers, students, career changers, or anyone wanting to build experience in early years while earning on the go.

What to expect:

• Morning calls for same-day bookings—so it helps if you’re ready to go with short notice

• You’ll work with experienced staff who’ll make you feel part of the team

• You’ll be placed at nurseries as close to home as possible

You’d be great for this if you...

• Have some experience with children (in or out of a nursery)- but professional experience isn't essential!

• Communicate well and keep calm under pressure

• Are flexible, friendly, and up for a challenge

• Thrive in busy, playful environments
