Nursery Pracititoner - Level 3

The Fordingbridge Day Nursery and Pre-School

Nursery Practitioner - Level 3

Hours: 40 hours per week

Salary: £29,464.00 per annum

The Fordingbridge Day Nursery is that it is housed in a Grade
II listed building, rather than a purpose-built nursery. The building still
retains historic features, including an old fireplace that has been repurposed
into a cosy space for babies, giving the setting a distinctive character that
many nurseries don't have.

Another unique aspect about The Fordingbridge Day Nursery
and Pre-School is that every room has direct access to the outdoors. Children
can move easily between indoor and outdoor learning spaces, where they grow
vegetables, explore nature, ride bikes and scooters, and engage in hands-on
outdoor activities throughout the year.

Join our nursery adventure! We're seeking an enthusiastic Level
3 Nursery Practitioner who loves nurturing young minds, sparking imaginations,
and celebrating every milestone along the way.
