Overview:
We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate Room Leader to join our team. The ideal candidate will provide a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for young children, fostering their development and ensuring they feel valued and supported.
We are a group of Bilingual French Nurseries in London. We are a family-owned setting with two nurseries currently. In 2021 & 2024, we received the Top 20 London nurseries award. This is a testimony of the quality of our teaching and learning environment for our children.
The nurseries welcome children aged between 3 months and 5 years old and are open 51 weeks a year from 8am to 6pm. We provide a loving culture and creative exploration through the eyes of the child. By building Montessori methods and linguistic arts, we have developed our unique curriculum. As a result, we prepare a child to excel in their foundation years and then move through life with a strong ability to achieve excellence. We are currently looking for a Level 2 or 3 early years qualified room leader in the team who is passionate about childcare and who can play a key role at this exciting stage of our growing nurseries.
