What you get

100% diary freedom. Choose school hours, term-time only, a couple of days or full-time.
No admin. No learning journals, no profile tracking and no evening planning folders. When the shift ends, you clock out.
Local work, so you're not crossing the city in rush hour. We place you near where you live.
One consultant who knows you, including your preferences and how far you're happy to travel.

What you'll need
Level 3 (£13.50/hr): A full and relevant Level 3 Early Years qualification, such as EYE, NVQ Level 3, CACHE Level 3 or NNEB, plus a current 12-hour Paediatric First Aid certificate.
Level 2 (£13.00/hr): A full and relevant Level 2 Early Years qualification, plus a current 12-hour Paediatric First Aid certificate.
Unqualified (£12.75/hr): At least 3 months' verifiable experience in a UK private day nursery, pre-school or early years centre within the past 2 years.
Teaching Assistant and Health & Social Care qualifications don't count towards nursery ratios. If your Paediatric First Aid has lapsed, we'll help you book a certified course and get you active.
Everyone needs:

Good working knowledge of the EYFS.
An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service. If you don't have one, we can fully support you in processing a brand-new check.
2 professional, verifiable references.
