We are looking for an enthusiastic Tea Time Assistant for our Burton Latimer Nursery. Our nursery in Burton Latimer is the largest within the Acorn group.

We are fortunate to have a beautiful and expansive outdoor area, featuring a large bespoke climbing frame and slide that offers children physical challenges and opportunities for exploration. Additionally, our onsite allotment allows children to plant vegetables, learn about their development, and nurture them until they can harvest their crops to use in their meals, effectively witnessing the journey from seed to plate.
