Daily Nanny / Childminding Assistant – East Twickenham (TW1)
The Vibe: High-energy, team-oriented, and creatively driven.
The Location: A beautiful home-setting in East Twickenham, perfectly placed for riverside walks and local outings.
Are you a childcare professional who feels stifled by rigid nursery schedules? Or a Nanny who misses having a team to bounce ideas off? This is a unique opportunity to join a dynamic trio of caregivers in a "home-from-home" setting where your creative input is not just welcomed—it's expected.
The Details
Schedule: Monday to Thursday (Enjoy a 3-day weekend)
Hours: 08:30 – 17:30 (36 hours per week)
Salary: £19 gross per hour → £21 gross per hour (Post-probation)
The Team: Working alongside two other lovely caregivers for up to 12 children (ages 1–4).
The Role: Creative Freedom & Hands-on Care
This role offers a rare level of autonomy. You won't just be following a plan; you will be shaping the day. * Creative Programming:
You have the freedom to plan and lead your own activities. Whether it's a specific art project, a sensory play setup, or a long-term "mini-project" based on the children's current interests, you are encouraged to bring your own ideas to the table.
Morning Adventures:
Leading trips to local groups, parks, green spaces, museums, or Kew Gardens.
The Practicalities: This is an "all-hands" role. You'll be proactive with nappy changes, potty training, and tidying up. You will also help prepare healthy snacks and nutritious lunches for the group.
Nurturing Environment: Maintaining a clean, safe, and happy home-from-home where the children feel empowered to learn through play.
About You
We are looking for a motivated, "muck-in" team player with a genuine spark for early years development.
Innovative:
You love brainstorming new crafts, projects, and ways to engage little minds.
Proactive: You see what needs to be done—from a messy kitchen to a child needing a snuggle—and you jump in.
Knowledgeable: A strong understanding of EYFS and Safeguarding is beneficial to help guide your creative planning.
Local: Ideally living in or near TW1 and walking, cycling or public transport to work - parking is not possible.
Why Apply?
If you want the freedom to be creative and the joy of working in a small, supportive team without the weight of nursery paperwork, this is the perfect role.
