The setting places a strong emphasis on early communication, independence, and learning through structured play. Children benefit from well-organised indoor and outdoor provision, with clear daily routines that support consistency and security. EYFS Staff work closely together to ensure children are well prepared for the transition into Key Stage 1, with a particular focus on early language, social development, and foundational learning skills.

Leadership is approachable and practical, and EYFS teachers are supported with clear expectations, realistic planning requirements, and access to appropriate resources.

• Work collaboratively with teaching assistants and early years staff

• Adapt provision to meet the needs of individual children, including those requiring additional support

• Maintain clear routines and expectations to support behaviour and learning

• Communicate effectively with staff and, where appropriate, parents and carers

The Ideal Candidate

• Holds QTS with experience in Nursery and/or Reception

• Has strong knowledge of the EYFS framework and early development milestones

• Confident delivering learning through play and structured activities

• Flexible and reliable, able to adapt to different settings and class needs
