Early Years Educator

ROLE SUMMARY:

Davenport Lodge Nursery School has been delivering education since 1968.

Emotional, social and personal development are prioritised; in addition, our nursery school offers partnerships with parents through strong home-school links, which help to reinforce the wellbeing and development of children.

Robust values and personal standards are promoted across school life. In the modern world, change is inevitable and rapid; in spite of this, however, we firmly believe that some standards should not change. Children are encouraged to develop good manners and an understanding of rules and how they help us. In addition, learners are taught to display personal values based on honesty, trust, understanding, caring and respect for diversity and other cultures.
