We’re looking for a passionate and qualified Early Years Practitioner to join our friendly team at our Paignton nursery. If you’re committed to delivering exceptional early years education and high‑quality care, we’d love to hear from you.
Our nursery is located on Midvale Road in a spacious semi‑detached property right in the heart of Paignton. We’re within walking distance of the train and coach stations, local schools, shops and other amenities, making us easy to reach for families and staff.
We provide high‑quality childcare for children aged three months to five years. The nursery features three well‑resourced rooms tailored to each age group, spread across three floors to create a warm, homely environment that helps children settle quickly. We also have a dedicated sensory room, which is a favourite space for children to explore and enjoy.
What we’re looking for:
* Level 3 Early Years qualification
* Strong understanding of EYFS
* A warm, positive and child‑centred approach
* Ability to work effectively as part of a team
* Passion for supporting children’s learning and development
Why Join Mama Bear’s?
We believe great people deserve great perks. When you join us, you’ll enjoy:
* Your birthday off
* Free uniform
* Complimentary meals when dining with the children
* 50% childcare discount for your first child
* Christmas closure – you’ll never work between Christmas and New Year
* All bank holidays off
* 28 days annual leave
* A strict no lone‑working policy so you’re always supported
* Clear progression routes, with internal promotion wherever possible
* Extensive training and CPD, helping you grow your career
* Time back for meetings, training or events held outside nursery hours
We offer a competitive salary based on qualifications and experience, alongside a supportive, friendly team environment.
