Early Years Educator

We believe the key to a happy nursery is a happy team which includes people from all walks of life, valued as individuals, and encouraged to bring their uniqueness to delivering outstanding childcare every day. None of what we do would be possible without our outstanding team.

Join our award-winning, nature-focused nursery group, where educators work a 4-day week, are paid in the top 10% locally, and are supported to grow their careers across our settings in York and Leeds.

Everything we do is guided by our core values - Heart, Excellence, Growth, Teamwork and Responsibility - shaping how we care for children, support families, and look after each other as a team.

We're now looking for a passionate Early Years Educator to join us, working in a nurturing, supportive environment where people genuinely matter. We particularly need applications from qualified Level 3 Early Years Educators ready to grow their career within our nursery group.

As an Early Years Educator at Muddy Boots, you'll play a vital role in delivering high-quality, nature-based learning experiences that inspire curiosity, confidence and independence.
