  • You hold a "Full & Relevant" Early Years qualification (e.g. CACHE NVQ NNEB Early Years Educator).

2. The Experienced Unqualified Stars:

  • You might not hold the formal certificate just yet but you have the vital hands-on experience and a natural gift for childcare! If you have recent verifiable professional experience working in a nursery setting and a drive to support early development we want to hear from you.

The Essentials for Everyone:

  • The Mindset: Absolute passion unshakeable reliability and an energetic "can-do" approach to the nursery day. You must genuinely want to be there for the children.

  • The Safety Standard: Holding a Full Paediatric First Aid (PFA) certificate is highly preferred. If you dont have one you must be enthusiastic about obtaining it to help keep our environments safe.

Required Skills:

Who We Are Looking For: We pride ourselves on providing nurseries with enthusiastic reliable staff who genuinely love working with children. We have roles across two tiers: The Qualified Tier (Level 2 & Level 3): You hold a Full & Relevant Early Years or Childcare qualification (e.g. NVQ CACHE Level 3 Early Years Educator NNEB). Please note: Due to government ratio regulations Health & Social Care or Teaching Assistant (TA) qualifications do not meet the criteria for Qualified Practitioner rates. Compliance (The 2025 Standard): Safety first! To be counted in nursery ratios you must hold a Full Paediatric First Aid (PFA) certificate. If you dont have one right now you must be willing to complete the training immediately to keep our little ones safe and compliant with regulations.
