Calling all baby room lovers and toddler adventurers! 📍 Nursery roles across South London Salary negotiable according to qualifications, experience and skills Can you turn a cardboard box into a spaceship? Or create a calm, comforting space where babies feel secure enough to explore? Tendly is looking for caring, creative Level 3 practitioners for baby and toddler rooms. We work with nurseries willing to pay for quality, recognising the experience, commitment and skills you bring to their team. What will you be doing? 🧸 In the baby room: * Building secure relationships and helping babies settle, working closely with parents to understand their individual routines. * Providing responsive care, including feeding, nappy changes, sleep routines and reassurance. * Creating safe, inviting spaces for tummy time, sensory exploration, music and early communication. * Supporting early movement, curiosity and development through gentle, age-appropriate play. 🎨 In the toddler room: * Creating imaginative worlds through role play, stories, construction, music and messy play. * Supporting language, friendships, emotional development and growing independence. * Helping toddlers navigate big feelings, learn to share and develop confidence. * Supporting meals, rest, toileting and toilet training in partnership with families. In either room, you will plan activities around children’s interests, observe and record their progress, fulfil key person responsibilities and communicate with families. You’ll also follow safeguarding procedures, maintain a safe and clean environment and contribute to the wider nursery team. What do you need? 🎓 You must already hold a Level 3 qualification specifically in Childcare/Early Years. A Level 3 in another subject does not qualify. We’re looking for a practical understanding of the EYFS, patience, reliability, good communication and a hands-on approach. A willingness to join an imaginary tea party is helpful too! ☕ Hours and travel These are full-time nursery roles, typically 40 hours per week, Monday–Friday, with shifts generally falling between 7:30am and 6:30pm. Exact hours depend on the nursery. You must be willing and able to commute up to 40 minutes each way by public transport and reliably attend your agreed shifts.
