Early Years Educator - Little Peanuts Day Nursery and Forest School

We're looking for a nursery practitioner to join our flourishing nursery and Forest School in Wheldrake.

At Little Peanuts we begin with each child and work alongside families, colleagues, and community to support each other in providing a nurturing, safe and loving environment where all children thrive.

Staff are our most valuable asset in ensuring that every Little Peanut is a unique and happy child: healthy, social, confident, creative, independent and ready to learn.

Our amazing nursery and Forest School set in 2 acres on the edge of Wheldrake.

We train our staff in The Curiosity Approach, using our beautiful and engaging setting to support children’s learning through endless play opportunities.

We provide a really special environment for both children and staff, why not come and have a look? Get in touch if you would like to come for a tour. Located south of York, just 7.4 miles or 20 minutes from the city centre.

Every day is a new adventure, and we look forward to you being a part of it!

Without staff who love coming to work, feel supported in their workplace and are able to be at their best, we cannot support our Little Peanuts children to reach their best. Therefore, we think it is vital to offer all our staff a comprehensive package. This includes:

• generous annual leave allocation
• provision for sick leave and emergency dependency leave with full pay
• Rregular supervision meetings with focus on staff well-being across all aspects of nursery life
• time allocated for all staff for continuing professional development, with support for further training and career progression

We take the safeguarding of children very seriously and the post carries a requirement for an enhanced Disclosure and Barring check.
