Highest paying Early Years Setting in Lancashire

Practitioner rate £10.50

Room Leader rate £11.00

Are you passionate about working with children?

We are looking for kind, nurturing and patient practitioners with good communication skills.

An Early Years qualification and experience is essential, as is a positive attitude and a caring nature.

As part of your role, you will be responsible for the children’s emotional wellbeing, and supporting their continuing learning and development. You will also be developing close relationships with our children’s families.

In line with the new EYFS and ‘Development Matters’ that were introduced in September 2021, we have reviewed our observation/assessment procedures to remove unnecessary paperwork and workload for our practitioners.

Practitioners are encouraged to spend quality time with their key children rather than writing observations for learning journeys.

We have a strong outdoor ethos, so all candidates must enjoy being outside, no matter the weather!

We are lucky to be based in a wonderful new purpose built setting with:

• Sensory room
• Outdoor kitchen garden
• Forest School area
• Sandcastle adventure playground
• Indoor halls
• Atelier art studio

As an employee of Ashbridge there are many rewards. These include a Pension scheme, attendance bonuses, 50% employee discount for nursery places, free lunches, discount at local cafe and beauty/hair salon, onsite employee parking.

We pride ourselves on being a very friendly place to work, with a strong emphasis on employee support and team work!

Ashbridge is the leading childcare provider in Preston, and as an established company, we can offer the chance of significant career progression across the company.

We have positions available for both practitioners, and room leaders.
