Kitchen Assistant

Our people are what make our family great. We see childcare as a profession, not just a job. So whatever level you are at in your childcare career, we’ll always encourage you to take on new opportunities and challenges – we want our teams to be the best!

Whilst all our settings are different, they all share the same values and ethos; working together to inspire your world. Children are at the heart of everything we do, so we are looking for individuals to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in. From a princess one day to astronaut the next, no two days are ever the same!

Catering experience, preferably in a similar environment.

Knowledge of food preparation for special dietary needs.

We are a small open plan nursery with a very home from home feel for both our staff and children.

We are a Montessori setting and do in house training to support this ethos.

Proud to have achieved Great Place to Work Certification 2024/2025.
