Are you happiest when you're surrounded by little people, big personalities and a whole lot of curiosity?
Do you love those everyday moments that make working in Early Years so special, the first friendships, the latest milestone, the messy play, the big questions and the feeling that you've helped a child feel safe, confident and ready to explore?
If you're a fully qualified Early Years Practitioner who genuinely loves working with children and wants to be part of a team that cares about doing things brilliantly, we'd love to hear from you.
We're looking for a Nursery Practitioner to join Wildflower Shawlands, formerly Pied Piper Nursery, on a 12-month maternity cover contract, as we continue our exciting journey as Wildflower Nurseries & Preschool.
Every child is different, and that's what makes Early Years so brilliant. You'll play an important role in creating an environment where children feel safe, supported, curious and excited to learn.
You'll be:
Creating a warm, nurturing and stimulating environment where every child feels safe, secure and valued
Planning and delivering engaging activities that reflect children's interests, development and individual needs
Building strong relationships with children and their families
Supporting children's care, wellbeing and day-to-day routines
Getting involved in everything from messy and sensory play to songs, stories, creative activities and outdoor adventures
Observing children's development and using what you see to help shape their learning and next steps
Encouraging children's confidence, independence and curiosity
Working closely with your room team to create a calm, happy and positive environment
Following our safeguarding and wellbeing procedures to make sure every child is safe and supported
Most importantly, you'll be someone who gets that the little things really matter. Getting down on their level, celebrating their latest achievement, helping them through a tricky moment or simply making them laugh.
We're looking for someone who is:
Holds a full and relevant Early Years qualification
Passionate about working with children and supporting their development
Warm, caring and naturally nurturing
Full of ideas and excited to create meaningful learning experiences
A great communicator who enjoys working as part of a team
Reliable, positive and willing to get stuck in
Passionate about giving children the very best start
Whether your experience is with babies, toddlers, preschool children or across different age groups, we'd love to hear from you.
You don't need to have every answer. We're looking for someone with the right attitude, energy and passion for Early Years who wants to grow with us.
We're building something really special at Wildflower.
Our nurseries are all about creating places where children can grow, our teams can flourish and everyone feels like they belong. We're bringing our settings together under one Wildflower family while keeping the individual personality and community that makes each nursery unique.
At Shawlands, you'll be joining a team that knows its children and families, cares about the community around it and is excited about this next chapter.
And because we want our people to feel just as valued as the children we care for, you'll also get:
30 days annual leave
Your birthday off
A wellbeing day
At least 60% childcare discount
Sovereign Healthcare Programme after 3 months
Employee Assistance Programme
Paid training and development opportunities
High street discounts
Enhanced maternity pay after two years' service
Plenty of opportunities to grow your career within Wildflower
If you're looking for a nursery where you'll be known, supported and genuinely part of the team, we'd love to hear from you.
This is an exciting time to join Wildflower Shawlands as we begin this next chapter, and we'd love for you to be part of it.
Apply today and come and see what makes Shawlands so special.
