Level 3 Nursery Practitioner / Early Years Practitioner – ( 75% Childcare Discount)

Salary:  £28,000
Hours: Full-time (40 Hours, Monday - Friday) with flexible options available
Location:  The New Barnet Day Nursery and Pre-School 
Be Valued. Be Supported. Be You.

At The New Barnet Day Nursery and Pre-School, we’re looking for a caring, enthusiastic Level 3 Nursery Practitioner to join our supportive, friendly team. You’ll enjoy flexibility, recognition and genuine opportunities to grow, all in a nurturing environment where both children and colleagues thrive.

The New Barnet Day Nursery & Pre-School is an OFSTED GOOD nursery in New Barnet, located in a converted house close to local transport links and amenities. Our nursery offers childcare for children from 3 months to 5 years in a genuinely homely setting, with strong safeguarding and nurturing care that helps every child feel safe, noticed and supported.

Our house-style layout creates smaller, cosy rooms where staff can really tune into each child, celebrating their milestones and offering calm, age-appropriate spaces for play and rest. Our devoted team brings a warm, family ethos and a range of experiences, enabling them to design play that reflects children’s interests and the lively community around us.

Our garden at the back of the house is larger than it first appears, opening into spaces where children may run on Astroturf, dig, explore water play or enjoy quieter corners under natural shade. Free-flow from certain rooms to the outside means children can choose to be indoors or outdoors, learning to listen to their own bodies, take gentle risks and build resilience in all weathers.

  • Flexible Working Options : 4 or 5 days, part-time or bank hours to suit your lifestyle
  • 33 Days Paid Holiday : 24 days annual leave + 8 bank holidays + your birthday off
  • 75% Childcare Discount for your own children
