The Role and the Department
The nursery practitioner position is to work in an "outstanding" nursery with children aged 0-5 years. We are a large setting split into four rooms, with an excellent partnership with our families, and are seeking someone with experience and enthusiasm to join our nursery team. This is a part-time position, and we are looking for candidates with experience working with children aged 0-5 years.
At Durham University Day Nursery, we aim to provide high-quality childcare in a safe, secure, and stimulating environment for children from 0 to 5. We operate in partnership with parents to help children become happy, independent, and well-adjusted emotionally and socially. Our nursery promotes self-confidence and a positive attitude towards learning in all children, regardless of gender, ethnicity, home language, special educational needs, disability, or ability. We offer a broad, balanced, and diverse curriculum where learning is fun and provides basic skills for the future. We recognize that every child is unique and aim to support each child's maximum developmental potential by paying attention to their individual needs. We also support Durham University staff and students with parental responsibilities to help them achieve their goals at study or work. We welcome applications from non-Durham University staff and students as well.
