About this job

Early Years Practitioner (Level 2 or Level 3)

Full-Time Opportunity | Leeds

If you're the kind of practitioner who loves seeing children achieve something for the first time, enjoys building genuine relationships with families, and wants to work somewhere you'll feel appreciated, this could be the role for you.

We're looking for a Level 2 or Level 3 Early Years Practitioner to join a lovely nursery in Leeds. This is a full-time opportunity within a setting that believes great childcare starts with a happy, supported team.

The nursery has a warm and welcoming feel, with staff who genuinely enjoy working together. It's a place where everyone pitches in, celebrates children's achievements, and takes pride in creating a safe and nurturing environment. You'll be joining a team that understands how important the early years are and is passionate about giving every child the best possible start.

Rather than feeling like just another member of staff, you'll be encouraged to share ideas, take part in shaping activities, and build strong connections with the children and families you work with every day.

What you'll be doing

  • Supporting children's learning and development through play and everyday experiences
  • Creating engaging activities that encourage curiosity, creativity, and confidence
  • Building positive relationships with children, parents, and colleagues
  • Helping children feel safe, happy, and supported throughout their day
  • Observing and celebrating children's progress and achievements
  • Working as part of a friendly team that is committed to high-quality childcare

    • What we're looking for

  • A Level 2 or Level 3 qualification in Early Years or Childcare
  • Previous experience within a nursery or Early Years setting
  • A caring, positive, and reliable approach
  • Someone who enjoys working as part of a team
  • A genuine passion for helping children learn and grow

    • Why you'll love this role

  • Full-time, permanent opportunity
  • Competitive rates of pay
  • Supportive management who value their staff
  • Friendly and welcoming team environment
  • Ongoing training and development opportunities
  • The chance to build meaningful relationships with children and families
  • A nursery where your contribution is recognised and appreciated

    • If you're looking for a nursery where you'll feel supported, trusted, and able to make a real difference every day, we'd love to hear from you.
