Bring Your Passion for Play to Chingford!

If your favorite part of the day involves messy hands singing slightly out of tune and celebrating tiny milestones you are exactly the kind of person we want to hear from. We are looking for educators who genuinely love the busy wonderful world of childcare and arent afraid to get a bit of glitter on their uniform.

We have teamed up with a lovely network of nurseries across Chingford and the London Borough of Waltham Forest. They are searching for truly enthusiastic Early Years Practitioners and Assistants to step in support their rooms and bring a big dose of positivity to the childrens day.

Childcare is incredibly rewarding but it can also be exhausting if you dont have the right balance. That is where we come in. You bring your passion to the playroom and we will build a flexible work schedule that actually lets you enjoy your weekends (or your weekdays!).

2. Experienced Unqualified Assistants:

  • You might not have the official paperwork just yet but you have real recent experience working in a busy early years setting. You know the daily routine inside out and love being part of a lively team.

What you need to bring:

  • The Enthusiasm: A genuine love for early education rock-solid timekeeping and a happy can-do attitude.

  • First Aid Training: A Full Paediatric First Aid (PFA) certificate is ideal. If you dont have one yet you just need to be happy to complete the training to make sure the children are always in safe hands.

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).

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.
