About the Nursery
Little Learners Nursery group is made up of St Saviour's Nursery (Ofsted grade outstanding) and St Mary's Nursery (Ofsted grade outstanding) and the newly opened St Margaret's Nursery in Barking. We provide a nurturing and safe environment in which children thrive as they learn. In 2019 we opened 'Little Learners in Nature', an outdoor provision based at St Saviour's, which draws on the principles of forest school. The children spend the day playing and learning outside and have access to ponds, tepees, mud kitchens, hammocks, a fire pit, a stone circle, a willow arch, bug hotels and a giant den‑making zone.
Employer Commitment
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and applicants must be willing to undergo Child Protection screening, including checks with past employers and the Criminal Records Bureau. References will be taken before interviews are offered. Early application is encouraged as we review applications throughout the advertising period and reserve the right to close the advert earlier than the stated deadline.
Waltham Forest is a diverse borough where diversity is valued and is integral to both service delivery and employment of its staff. The Council is proud of its rich mix of communities and, as the largest employer in the area, it works hard to respond to the changing needs of its population. The Council is committed to meeting its four equality objectives:
* Promoting equality of opportunity
* Opposing all forms of discrimination, intolerance and disadvantage
* Ensuring our workforce reflects the diverse communities of Waltham Forest at all levels
* Providing fair, appropriate, accessible and excellent services to all
Respecting diversity is a core Council value. To support the above and reduce the risk of bias in its recruitment activities, the council operates an anonymous shortlisting process, which hides personal information that can identify individuals until their application has been considered for shortlisting. The council also operates a scheme whereby, for jobs graded up to and including scale SO2, internal candidates are considered first. This includes those candidates who self‑identify as having a disability for the purposes of the Disability Confident scheme. For more information, please refer to our recruitment and selection policy.
