Job Description
This position is for Tender Care Day Nursery, Croydon.
The nursery caters for children aged 3 months to 5 years old and can cater for 74 children at any one time. The nursery is close to Thornton Heath, Norbury and Purley Way – accessible via many bus routes.
The nursery has 3 rooms specifically designed with children in mind; Big Panda’s Room for our 3-5 year olds, Little Lamb’s for our 2-3 year olds and Baby Dolphin’s for our 0-2 year olds – each room is themed accordingly and has a range of resources to specifically aid the development of the children within that room. This nursery boasts impressive facilities including two outdoor spaces, a sensory room, an ICT room and two indoor physical jungle gym structures.
The management team at Canterbury is highly experienced in childcare, particularly within the Croydon borough and therefore has in depth knowledge of its supporting teams for parents, children, additional needs and disabilities and safeguarding which in turn ensures that every child receives the best possible support through their learning journey.
If you have a keen interest and a genuine desire to work in the childcare apprenticeship programme with little to no experience, we encourage for you to apply! There are only few requirements we require to check your eligibility.
Essential Requirements – GCSE Maths and English C or 4, or an equivalent (Functional Skills level 2)
