Join Our Friendly Early Years Team
We are looking for a caring, enthusiastic and dedicated Level 3 Early Years Practitioner to join a welcoming nursery setting in Long Ashton.
This is a full-time position with an immediate start. The successful candidate will primarily be based within our Toddler Room, supporting children to learn, develop and thrive through engaging play and high-quality interactions. However, flexibility is essential as you may be required to work across different age groups and rooms when needed.

- Provide a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment for all children.
- Plan and deliver age-appropriate activities that support learning and development.
- Build strong, positive relationships with children, families and colleagues.
- Observe, assess and record children's progress in line with the EYFS framework.
- Support children's emotional wellbeing, independence and social development.
- Maintain high standards of safeguarding, health and safety and childcare practice.
- Work collaboratively as part of a team and adapt to the needs of the nursery.
Requirements
- Level 3 Early Years qualification (or equivalent recognised childcare qualification).
- Sound knowledge of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
- Understanding of safeguarding and child protection responsibilities.
- Experience working with children in an early years setting.
- A positive, flexible and proactive approach.
- Strong communication and teamwork skills.
