A bit about the role

"I like the teamwork here. They've given me a lot of skills to help develop my career." - Estefania, Early Years Assistant

If you’re a natural with children and want to find out if childcare is for you, this could be a great next step.

You’ll support the nursery team in supervising fun activities, caring for the children and keeping them safe and happy.

As part of the team, you might take the children on a train to the Science Museum, hop on a bus to make friends at a nearby LEYF nursery, or join in baking sessions with the children and your nursery chef.

While entry qualifications aren’t necessary, if you want to learn more, we can help you get the training you need. Whether this is your first step into work or you’re looking for a career change, age is no barrier.

You will need

• The right to work in the UK
• To be able to work all year round
• A strong work ethic
• An ability to safeguard and protect children
• To be positive, reliable and friendly

About the nursery

To summarise one parent’s recent review: "The nursery staff have shown true professionalism, hard work, and most importantly, love for all children. They’ve supported us every step of the way - potty training, tantrums, fears, and even the transition when we had our second daughter. We’re so grateful for their kindness and knowledge."
