Whether it's woodland adventures, outdoor learning activities, or child-led exploration, this setting creates a truly inspiring environment for both children and staff.

The nursery has built an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality childcare while maintaining a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Staff are valued as professionals, supported in their development, and encouraged to bring their creativity and ideas into the setting. It's the kind of nursery where you'll feel part of a team from day one.

  • Create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where every child can thrive

    • What We're Looking For

  • Level 3 qualification in Early Years
  • Previous experience working within a nursery setting
  • A genuine passion for supporting children's development
  • Enthusiasm for outdoor learning and nature-based experiences
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
  • A caring, positive, and proactive approach

    • Why Apply?

  • Full-time, temp-to-perm opportunity
  • Join an outstanding independent nursery setting
  • Work within a unique Forest School environment
  • Supportive management and welcoming team
  • Ongoing training and career development opportunities
  • Competitive rates of pay
  • Opportunity to secure a permanent position
  • A rewarding role where no two days are the same

    • If you're looking for a nursery that values its staff, embraces outdoor learning, and provides children with unforgettable early years experiences, we'd love to hear from you.
