Nursery Assistant

An exciting opportunity has arisen at The Chelsea Nursery at Cameron Vale School for an outstanding Nursery Assistant. Our early years provision includes toddlers and preschoolers from two years to four years. In this role, you will be working with a team to provide a safe, caring and stimulating environment for the children. You will work with the children to aid them in their learning and development, showing a good understanding of children’s needs. The ideal candidate will have Early Years' experience and must be flexible (as every day is different), adaptable and hard working. You will need to be a well organised person who can work independently and as part of a team and have the skills to build positive relationships with children and colleagues. 

This is an exciting opportunity for a qualified, imaginative and driven assistant who wants to join an innovative, forward-thinking and committed team. Those wishing to apply should hold an NVQ Level 3 or above qualification. 

Our mission is to support each child to reach their full potential and develop a lifelong love of learning, ensuring that every child is happy and confident. The nursery environment is safe and nurturing and is wholly child-centred, following Anna Ephgrave’s ‘In The Moment Planning’ framework. The curriculum is individualised to each child’s strengths and interests to allow them to develop at their own speed. Through our play-based curriculum, exceptional learning environment and outstanding teaching, each child’s natural sense of curiosity and independence is enhanced. 

The Chelsea Nursery is a newly established Nursery based at Cameron Vale School. Cameron Vale School welcomes pupils aged four to eleven. We provide a safe, nurturing environment for our children to thrive academically, socially and spiritually. As part of Cameron Vale School, we are committed to providing high quality professional development and career progression for all staff. We are constantly reviewing our practices to ensure that our staff can focus on what matters: providing a rich environment in which children can learn and thrive. We encourage expertise and a staff that supports one another to develop their own practice.
