Are you ready to dream big and join our exciting new Nursery, leading the way by reshaping Early Years provision?
It began as a dream, to develop a childcare setting of the highest quality. To offer children the freedom of opportunities in nature. Where children are enthused to be offered highly nutritious food where they have contributed to the growing and preparation. To develop a generation of independent thinkers, big dreamers, and lifelong learners. We wanted to change the way Early Years education was delivered. With career-driven individuals who light up a room with enthusiasm. Where children and practitioners become our family and are prepared for the ever-changing world ahead of them. We are now excited to welcome a BANK Early Years Educator to the family.
What will you be doing day to day?
We are looking for enthusiastic and flexible BANK Early Years Educator to join our supportive team. As a bank member of staff, you will provide cover for staff absences and busy periods across our nursery rooms. You'll play a vital role in maintaining our high standards of care and education for children aged 0-5 years.
