Zest Education is excited to be recruiting for a Nursery Practitioner, ready to join a warm and welcoming early years setting in Edgbaston. This role begins in April and continues throughout the third school term, and it can also lead to further opportunities going forward.
The nursery creates a nurturing, child-centred atmosphere where children learn, play and grow with confidence. As you walk through the setting, you’ll notice bright indoor spaces, well-resourced play areas and a spacious outdoor learning environment. Together, these features encourage exploration, creativity and positive early relationships. The staff team works collaboratively and consistently strives to deliver high-quality early years education.
In this position, you will play a key part in children’s daily learning and development. You will plan and deliver engaging, age-appropriate activities, while also creating a safe, caring and stimulating environment. Additionally, you will build strong, positive relationships with children, colleagues and parents. As you follow the EYFS guidelines, you will contribute to observations and assessments and work closely with the wider early years team to ensure every child feels supported.
The ideal practitioner will:
Hold a Level 3 Early Years qualification
Bring experience working with young children in an educational or childcare setting
Demonstrate strong knowledge of the EYFS framework
Show enthusiasm, patience, and a naturally nurturing approach
Communicate clearly and work well within a team
Adapt effectively to children’s individual needs while staying proactive and reliable
