About Archway Nursery School
Located in a beautifully converted farmhouse, Archway Nursery School in Blandford Forum is a little piece of rural magic.
About you
You are a Level 2 or above qualified Early Years Educator / Practitioner / Nursery Nurse or similar who enjoys supporting and encouraging the natural curiosity and excitement of young children. You have a natural, nurturing, openness, a warm and positive outlook, and you care about learning and education standards in the UK.
What you'll be doing
You'll likely start most of your days with a fully formulated plan, but pivoting when the circumstances call for it is a regular occurrence in child care! Creativity is key. Teaching young children allows for hands-on arts and crafts, storytelling, exercise, and educational games. It’s important to keep things fresh and try new activities to maintain engagement while working within the EYFS standards.
