Nursery Educator - London, United Kingdom - PolkaDots Nursery

Description

Nursery Educator | PolkaDots Nursery -
Term Time only opportunity
PolkaDots is a vibrant and lovely independent nursery in northwest London (NW5).

Providing a safe and caring environment for all our children in a setting that's friendly and fun, our motto is to educate, nurture and inspire children to learn through play.

Whatever their individual needs, we ensure every child at PolkaDots has full access to the EYFS curriculum and beyond - with Music and Makaton sessions as well as Dance and spanish classes with specialist Teachers.

We're looking for a Nursery Educator to join our community at our Team. Our nursery is open during term-time (38 weeks per year) to children aged 2 to 5 years-old.

We operate school hours for our children and you can expect to be on site 8:45am - 3:15pm Monday to Thursday and 8:45am - 1:30pm on Friday.

As a small nursery, relationships are key to who we are. Our staff team is our greatest strength and most valuable asset. Because we recognise this, we continually invest in them and offer training and other opportunities to develop professionally.

This includes Makaton training from a Regional Makaton tutor, professional development led by Camden's Education and Wellbeing teams and continuous internal training, for example in areas such as safeguarding and technology use and an online training platform for staff.

This role will suit someone who wants to be at the heart of a caring team, who wants to continue to develop professionally, and who takes pride in caring for young children to help them grow.

If you'd like to be part of our PolkaDots team, we'd love to hear from you.
