Full Time Nursery Nurse - Level 3
Grassroots Day Nursery aims to provide year-round child care of exceptional quality with a strong emphasis on outdoor learning through play. Based on a family-run farm, the nursery provides a unique setting for children aged 3months to five years with only 34 on site at any one time - so we are small, friendly and privately owned!
The right candidate should be a creative and innovative thinker with excellent interpersonal and organisational skills. They should have experience of working with children and families, together with a thorough understanding of the needs and development of young children. A clear vision of what it means to consistently deliver high quality practice is essential, ensuring that our provision is an outstanding and exciting place for children to explore, learn, develop and grow.

You will need to demonstrate your commitment to children, treating every child as an individual and ensure their personal development needs are being met, in line with the EYFS.

- Providing inspiration to nursery children through exciting activities in all areas of learning whilst incorporating EYFS.

Bank Staff
Grassroots are always on the look out for reliable, caring and experienced bank staff. Although an NVQ level 3 or equivalent in childcare is not essential as you would be working within our fully qualified team, the right candidate should be a creative and innovative thinker with a genuine interest in providing quality care for children aged 0-5yrs.
Ideally candidates would be willing to work a full 10 hour day (8am - 6pm) to cover annual/sick leave of permanent staff although half days can be accomodated if necessary. As maintaining ratios is imperative at all times within nursery, we aim to work with bank staff to plan 'bank days' well in advance, however there may also be times we would contact you to see if you were available for emergency cover at short notice.
