Senior Early Years Practitioner (Level 3)

Senior Nursery Practitioner (Level 3)

HA6 | Hillingdon | Full-Time | Montessori Nursery

Not every nursery feels like a family. This one genuinely does.

We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established Montessori nursery in the HA6 area that has been serving local families for over 20 years.

Known for its warm atmosphere, strong community reputation and high standards of care, this nursery has built something special. Many families return with younger siblings and the setting is trusted by parents as a recognised feeder nursery to several local independent schools.

As the nursery continues to grow, they are now looking for an experienced and passionate Senior Nursery Practitioner to join their team.

Why You'll Love This Nursery

This is a family-run nursery where relationships genuinely matter.

You'll join a close-knit team of 14 staff who support one another, celebrate success together and share a commitment to giving children the very best start in life.

The nursery offers:

✔ Montessori-inspired learning and child-led practice

✔ Small, supportive team environment

✔ Strong relationships with children and families

✔ Excellent reputation within the local community

✔ Opportunities to mentor and support junior practitioners

✔ A leadership team that values your ideas and contribution

The Opportunity

This role is ideal for an experienced Level 3 Practitioner looking to take the next step in their career.

* Build positive relationships with parents and families

* Support and mentor junior practitioners

* Champion safeguarding and high-quality early years practice

* Holds a full and relevant Level 3 Early Years qualification

* Has previous nursery experience

* Enjoys supporting and developing others

* Has strong EYFS and safeguarding knowledge

* Values child-led learning and nurturing relationships

* Brings warmth, professionalism and positivity to their work

Montessori experience would be welcomed but is not essential.

Benefits

We believe great practitioners deserve to feel valued.

As part of the team you'll receive:

* Competitive salary

* Pension scheme

* Uniform provided

* Paid day off for your birthday

* Two fully funded staff social events each year
