This Outstanding nursery in Lewes is recruiting a Senior Early Years Practitioner.
The salary range is £28,000 to £29,000 a year (up to £13.94 ph). You'll work in a great team and with a lovely Manager, contribute to the planning and to the success of the nursery as a whole. We like to promote from within when we can.
The nursery itself is mid-sized, child-centric and our educational approach creates a harmonious, calm environment with free-flow outdoor learning.
We use a nature field across the road for Forest School; the children take regular walks to the duck pond, Lewes castle and the town's beautiful parks and gardens; and we run extra-activities such as yoga in the classroom.
The Manager will support you as you learn our routines and planning and the parents are super supportive of our educational approach.
Our normal working week is 40 hours, but a four day week is possible. Write to us if you interested in shorter hours.
We are open all-year-round. There is car parking close by, the train station is a 10-minute walk and we're on the main bus routes.
