* A commitment to keep learning and growing through our endless training opportunities
* A motivated individual who can help create a positive team environment, encourage collaboration, lead the team, and provide feedback

* Someone who believes that every child is unique and full of potential, and understands the importance of tailoring what we do to meet every child's individual needs
* Someone who can demonstrate a good understanding of the EYFS and be experienced with and confident in planning for children's learning development
In return, you'll get:
* A supportive, close-knit team of experienced practitioners who genuinely love what they do
