The Orchard Nursery is looking for someone special to join our team. This would be based in our pre-school room. The hours would be full time, working 37 hours per week across 4 days, with a day off.
So if the below sounds like you..... get in touch!!
You must have a warm smiling face that makes every child feel special.
You must be able to laugh at jokes you don't understand, or you don't find funny!
You will preferably have a little bit of quirkiness. If a child requests that you be a captain of a pirate ship, you will be the best pirate captain you can be!
The ability to sing in tune is not necessary; however the ability to sing out of tune in front of a crowd is essential
Possessing the skills required to rapidly count the heads of numerous moving small people is of the utmost importance
Must be comfortable entering public places on the way home from work, with unknown substances on your clothing.
Pretending to eat playdough creations realistically is required, and that of drinking numerous cups of pretend tea. You must be prepared to have lots of fun in the workplace. Laughter is something you can expect to engage in for a large part of your working day.
Finally, you must be prepared to feel loved, special and important to many young children and their families. There is simply no other job quite like this one.
We are looking for a highly motivated, positive individual who has a level 3 in childcare. The ideal candidate will be enthusiastic and have a real interest in children's learning and development.
We use In-the-Moment Planning, and therefore have no forward planned activities, but share in the joy of each learning moment that arises with the children. You have the freedom to be as creative as you can to ensure that our children get the best possible learning experience, whilst you have fun too. All planning is flexible and responsive to children’s needs so plans can be changed and adapted dependent on children’s interests. We also use an online observation system, (eyLog) so no more piles of paperwork!
Candidates must possess enthusiasm required for a fast paced, exciting environment, which is full of awe and wonder. Applicants must also have good knowledge of the EYFS and will be committed to delivering an outstanding childcare provision.
