We are a small, values based nursery that believes the quality of the care and nurture we provide is only possible when we have skilled, committed staff members who feel valued in their role.
“Staff morale was high, they worked well together and they identified strongly with the service which resulted in a happy enabling atmosphere with a right's based approach”
FossoPLAY Care Inspectorate report, May
We believe passionately that children should spend as much time as possible playing outdoors in the natural environment. We focus on the individual strengths and abilities of the children and place a real emphasis on nurturing positive relationship with each child. We work alongside parents and carers to achieve this and use our rich and challenging natural environment to support the children's physical, emotional and cognitive development.
We provide a range of professional development and training opportunities and can offer fully funded SCQF 7 and SCQF 9 level qualifications, within work, to the right candidates. Staff uniforms and winter weather gear is provided other employee benefits.
If you have a genuine love of the outdoors and understand the benefits it provides to young children then we believe FossoPLAY will be the right place for you.
