We are looking for practitioners who have the passion, enthusiasm, and professional skills to work with a team of early years practitioners in delivering a play-based curriculum that supports the child’s learning and development.
Duties
1. To be a key person for a group of children, taking responsibility for all aspects of children’s safety, emotional well-being, and learning and development.

Proactively involve children at mealtimes to create a social occasion that provides opportunities to promote children’s social and emotional development as well as encourage good eating habits and hygiene.
6. When necessary, develop and maintain highly professional working relationships with advisory teachers, schools, area senco’s, and other agencies.
