Level 2 Nursery Practitioner | Streatham | Up to £13.50ph (with PFA)

Level 2 Nursery Practitioner – Bring Your Magic to Streatham! ✨🧸
Are you ready for a fresh start in a nursery that truly feels like a family?
Whether you have just proudly completed your Level 2 qualification and need a nurturing place to find your feet, or you have taken a career break and want a low-pressure, supportive environment to ease back into early years education, we have a wonderful spot waiting for you in Streatham.
We know that stepping into a playroom for the first time, or returning after time away, can be daunting. That is why we partner exclusively with teams that celebrate mentorship, champion a healthy work-life balance, and give you the space to grow at your own pace.
Your Day-to-Day Adventures: Instead of a rigid routine, expect a dynamic day full of smiles, mess, and milestones! You will be:

Working alongside a collaborative team to ensure the nursery is a safe, inclusive, and joyful space for every child.

Getting creative! Helping to design and lead play-based activities that support the EYFS framework—think sensory bins, outdoor explorations, and storytelling.

Gently guiding children through their daily routines, ensuring they feel secure during mealtimes, rest periods, and transitions.

Chatting warmly with parents and carers, building trust and sharing those special little moments from their child's day.

Soaking up knowledge from experienced colleagues who are always on hand to help you build your confidence.

What Makes You a Great Fit:

Your Qualification: You hold a full, recognized Level 2 Early Years qualification.

The PFA Perk: If you currently hold a valid 12-hour Paediatric First Aid (PFA) certificate, you will instantly qualify for our top rate of £13.50 per hour! (Don't have it yet? We still want you to apply! We can help facilitate your training, and your rate will adjust once you complete it).

Your Vibe: You bring a positive, can-do energy to the room. We don't expect perfection on day one; we just want your enthusiasm and willingness to learn.

Your Commitment to Safety: A rigorous dedication to safeguarding is essential. (An Enhanced DBS check is required for this role).

The Perks of Joining Us:

Tailored Flexibility: We offer shift patterns designed around your real life, making this an ideal fit for parents returning to the workforce or those with study commitments.

A Gentle Welcome: No being thrown in at the deep end. You will be given the time, support, and breathing room to settle in.

Room to Grow: Invaluable, hands-on experience with a team that will actively support you if you decide to pursue your Level 3 qualification in the future!
