Do you want to work in one of the most exciting Early Years environments in Wales?

Do you believe that young children learn best through play, relationships, curiosity, creativity and meaningful first-hand experiences?

Are you passionate about Early Years education and excited by the opportunity to help shape a distinctive Froebelian approach within a highly ambitious Federation?

If so, we would love to hear from you.

Someone who understands that excellent Early Years pedagogy is highly intentional without needing to be heavily adult-directed. Someone who is excited by the opportunity to work within a developing Froebelian approach, contribute their own thinking, learn alongside colleagues and help us continue to build genuinely distinctive, developmentally appropriate provision for our youngest learners.
