Are you a passionate Level 3 Early Years Practitioner looking for a role where you can build a long-term career while making a real difference to children's lives?

We're recruiting for a fantastic temp-to-perm opportunity within a highly regarded independent nursery in Leeds. This is the perfect chance to join a setting that offers the security of a permanent role while allowing you to experience the nursery and team first.

This nursery is truly special. With a strong Forest School ethos, outdoor learning is at the heart of everything they do. Children are encouraged to explore, take risks, build confidence, and develop a love of nature through meaningful outdoor experiences. Rain or shine, learning extends beyond the classroom, creating exciting opportunities for children to grow, discover, and thrive.

The setting has a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a team that genuinely cares about one another. Staff are valued, supported, and encouraged to bring their own ideas and creativity to the nursery. It's a place where your contribution is recognised and where you'll feel part of a close-knit team from day one.

The Role

  • Deliver engaging learning experiences in line with the EYFS framework
  • Support children's development through play, exploration, and outdoor learning
  • Build positive relationships with children, families, and colleagues
  • Observe and track children's progress and achievements
  • Create a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment
  • Champion the nursery's Forest School and outdoor learning approach

    • What We're Looking For

  • Level 3 qualification in Early Years
  • Experience working within a nursery setting
  • A genuine passion for child development and learning through play
  • Enthusiasm for outdoor learning and nature-based experiences
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
  • A caring, positive, and proactive approach

    • Why Apply?

  • Temp-to-perm opportunity with long-term career prospects
  • Full-time hours available
  • Competitive rates of pay
  • Work within a unique independent nursery setting
  • Strong focus on outdoor learning and Forest School
  • Supportive leadership and friendly team culture
  • Ongoing training and professional development
  • A rewarding role where every day is different

    • If you're looking for more than just a job and want to be part of a nursery that values creativity, outdoor learning, and supporting children to become confident little explorers, we'd love to hear from you.
