About this company
We are a small, homely, 20 place nursery in a beautiful woodland setting. We are a friendly and supportive team and the owner is a primary school teacher who is passionate about giving children in early years the very best start. We have one large room and one group room, so we spend a lot of time together, as well as exploring our wonderful outdoor area. We have exclusive use of the site during the week, but the Scouts use it at the weekend. Therefore, part of this role involves helping to pack away on Friday.
