Hi, I'm Lorraine, the Nursery Manager at Treehouse.

Our nursery is a place full of wonder and inspiration, where natural resources are thoughtfully used to spark children's imaginations. Every day, we encourage our children to be inquisitive and adventurous, helping them build confidence, develop a love of learning, and nurture a curious mind.

Our large outdoor spaces and natural wooden playhouses invite children to connect their imaginations with the world around them, fostering a deep appreciation for nature. Inside, our home-from-home environment has a strong family feel, shaped by the warmth and dedication of our long-serving, experienced team.

We recognise that every child is unique, with their own story to tell. That’s why we tailor learning experiences to each child’s individual needs and pace—ensuring they feel valued, supported, and excited to learn.

You are a Level 2 or above qualified, Early Years Educator / Practitioner / Nursery Nurse or similar and you're looking for an Early Years Educator/Nursery Nurse/Early Years Practitioner role that allows you flexibility of working shifts around your other commitments.

You enjoy supporting and encouraging the natural curiosity and excitement of young children and were born to teach and shape the future of our younger generations.

You have a natural, nurturing, openness, a warm and positive outlook, and you care about learning and education standards in the UK.

(We can sometimes consider unqualified Educators, so if you can demonstrate the necessary values and enthusiasm for working within this environment, submit an application. Nothing ventured nothing gained).

You’ll be helping to provide cover for the children as and when needed. This could be for periods of holiday, sickness, or even vacancy gaps. Sometimes you'll support for a full day, or it may just be a morning or afternoon session.

You’ll likely start most of your days with a fully formulated plan…. That will soon get completely derailed though… Pivoting when the circumstances call for it is a regular occurrence in child care!

Creativity is key. Teaching young children allows for hands on arts and crafts, storytelling, exercise, and educational games. It’s important to keep things fresh and try new activities to keep attention spans engaged. Of course we work within the EYFS standards, but that doesn't stop you from engaging your creative flair and enthusiasm for learning.

• Full and relevant Level 2 or above qualification within early years. We can sometimes consider unqualified Educators, as long as they demonstrate the necessary qualities, values and enthusiasm for working within this environment.
• Experience as an Early Years Educator (Nursery Nurse/Practitioner) or having worked with children under the age of 5, is advantageous.
• Knowledge and understanding of the EYFS is desirable.
• Reflecting the Storal values around responsibility, openness and working together.
