Do you want to work for an organisation whose culture is driven by our HEART principles – Honesty, Excellence, Accountability, Respect, and Teamwork? A place where you can be yourself, feel supported, make a real difference to the next generation, and confidently say: “I did that.” We’re looking for a flexible working practitioner to join our Bright Flex / Bank team at our Bank Street Day Nursery & Preschool.
About the Role
Our purpose-built nursery, located in the heart of Canary Wharf, is designed to support the best possible experiences for both children and staff. Each age-specific room is crafted to create a warm, “home from home” atmosphere. Additionally, it’s conveniently positioned near Jubilee Line and DLR stations, making commuting a breeze from across London.

As part of a larger team, your responsibilities will also include:
- Assisting daily tasks (e.g., room tidying and preparation)
- Adhering to safeguarding and child protection policies with ethical diligence
