- Acting as a key person and building secure attachments with your allocated children
- Maintaining positive and reassuring communication with parents and carers

- Previous experience caring for babies in a nursery or Early Years setting
- A good understanding of the EYFS and babies’ developmental milestones
- Knowledge of safer sleeping, bottle preparation, weaning and intimate-care routines
- The ability to form secure, nurturing relationships with babies
- A calm, patient and attentive approach
- Strong communication and teamwork skills
- A valid right to work in the UK
- An enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or a willingness to apply for one
