Overview
Hurlingham Nursery School is seeking a highly motivated, qualified Early Years Practitioner (Teaching Assistant) to inspire children in our outstanding, nurturing and dynamic environment for 2 to 4 year olds in Putney. Hurlingham School is proud to be announced as a finalist for 'Best Pre-Prep School of the Year' category in the Independent School of the Year Awards (ISOTY) 2025. This recognition builds on our recent Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) judgement of a ‘Significant Strength’ for our Early Years provision.
Our practice not only covers all aspects of the Early Years’ Foundation Stage comprehensively, but also goes far beyond it. At Hurlingham Nursery, we ensure pupils are ready to embrace each and every opportunity that will come their way during future years in our linked preparatory school. Children learn primarily through play, enjoying a combination of teacher-initiated and child-led activities. Our stimulating and caring environment ensures children feel secure and valued. This exceptionally friendly and nurturing setting makes the transition from home to school as easy as possible. Our four most important points of focus in the nursery and pre-school years are socialisation, confidence, literacy and numeracy.
