In this role, you’ll be supporting little ones as they reach key development milestones, sparking their imagination, and helping them explore the world through play.

In this role, you’ll help children reach important milestones, ignite their imaginations, and encourage them to explore the world through play.

At Flitwick Day Nursery, no two days are the same. You’ll spend your time getting hands-on with playdough, building towers, creating mark-making masterpieces, and encouraging imaginative play both indoors and in our lovely garden space.
Our nursery is located on Steppingley Road in Flitwick, just a short walk from the train station, making it convenient and easy to reach.
We’re looking for someone who finds fun in the little things, loves working with young children, and wants to make a positive impact on their early years. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
Join us at Flitwick Day Nursery and help create magical moments every day!
