We are looking for an enthusiastic individual to join our team at Pirniehall Nursery.
Pirniehall Nursery offers places for children from three years until school age.
In our nursery, the emphasis is on the importance of learning through play where children are encouraged to develop their own natural curiosity and creativity. This approach helps children begin the habit of learning and develop emotional maturity and social skills, benefiting their education and behaviour later on.
The five aspects of children’s development, which we encourage in our Nursery, are:
* Emotional, personal and social development
* Communication and language
* Knowledge and understanding of the world
* Expressive and aesthetic development
* Physical development and movement
Children attend during the following times:
Morning class: 8.30am-11.40am
Afternoon class: 12.15pm-3.25pm
For more information on the job role, please see the attached job description.
Applicants should be registered with the SSSC.
