More2Kidbrooke Nursery Kidbrooke
Kidbrooke, London SE3 9NJ
Full Time – 4 Days Per Week
More2Kidbrooke is looking for enthusiastic and reliable individuals to join our nursery team as Unqualified Nursery Staff, working towards a Level 3 Early Years qualification.
More2Kidbrooke is a new, purpose‑built nursery setting, located just a 3‑minute walk from Kidbrooke Railway Station, and is part of a wider Ofsted Outstanding nursery group.
Applicants must have previous experience working in a similar field, such as childcare, health & social care, schools, care settings, hospitality, customer service or other people‑focused environments, and be willing to begin a Level 3 Early Years pathway alongside employment.
This is not a Level 2 route — candidates must be academically capable of completing a Level 3 qualification alongside full‑time work. The apprenticeship/pathway takes a minimum of 12 months to complete.
We would also like to hear from candidates who already hold a Level 2 or Level 3 qualification in Health & Social Care and are looking to begin a career in Early Years.

We are unable to sponsor candidates for UK work visas. Applicants must already have the right to work in the UK.
