Buttons and Bows Nursery are looking for a passionate Apprentice Early Years Educator to join our Forest School leader in providing Forest School sessions in our new extended Forest School garden. This an exciting time to join us as we continue to shape and develop our unique outdoor provision.

Our Forest School provision offers all-day opportunities for all ages across the nursery within a beautiful outdoor environment, complete with purpose-built fire pit area and inspiring natural spaces designed to spark curiosity and adventure.

The role and qualification

As an apprentice, you will work towards a qualification in early years via our learning provider, with tasks and assignments set remotely by your dedicated tutor who will often arrange to visit you in setting and observe you in the workplace.

You will not only learn the theory behind child development stages, but you will also be supported and working alongside a knowledgeable and friendly team (and not forgetting the children that bring lots of fun to your working day!) who will help you put your theory into practice.

In setting you can expect to be assisting children in their learning, this could be setting up activities, singing, or jumping in puddles (bring your wellie boots!) along with allowing children the freedom to develop their independence.

This is a great opportunity for someone that is motivated, has a genuine passion for childcare and is ready to commit and work hard to achieve their qualification. If this sounds like you, please do apply.

You will need

• bags of passion and enthusiasm 

• a love for the outside world

• a proactive, positive attitude and a sense of adventure.
