Early Years Practitioner

Edgeborough is one of Surrey’s top Prep Schools and is a fantastic environment in which to work. The Nursery and Pre-School are situated on the main site and thereby benefit from the school’s excellent facilities. The staff room is a warm, friendly and vibrant place with everyone pulling together in their quest to keep Edgeborough right at the forefront of Prep School education in the UK. Never has its warmth and camaraderie been so important, and so noticeable, as now. 

Our practice follows and extends the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) engendering a sense of wonder and curiosity of the world for all our children, giving them the confidence to take risks in an environment where they feel respected and secure. We look to achieve balance in our pedagogy, giving children structure and security whilst following their individual interests and aptitudes, doing so through a mixture of adult-led and child-initiated learning experiences. We fully recognise that children learn best when they are enthused, engaged and happy and we pride ourselves on the exceptionally friendly, inclusive and nurturing provision that we offer, where children and their families feel confident, involved and valued.  

With Edgeborough situated so favourably in some truly stunning grounds, outdoor learning is integral to who we are and what we do. The ideal candidate should share this commitment. As a school with community at is core, we are also seeking an individual who will embrace school-life in its fullest sense and actively involve themselves in the many varied and wonderful opportunities that Edgeborough has to offer.
