Bright Stars Childcare is looking for a passionate and enthusiastic Nursery Apprentice who is eager to work with children and pursue a Level 3 Early Years qualification. To be considered for this role, you must have a genuine love for children and a warm, caring nature.

As an Apprentice Nursery Educator, you will be part of a friendly and supportive team, responsible for a group of key children, planning activities, completing observations, and ensuring their safety and well-being at all times.
You’ll be expected to comply with the Early Years Foundation Stage Statutory Framework and help create a safe, fun, and stimulating learning environment.
Building strong, positive relationships with children, families, and colleagues is a key part of the role.

Our purpose-built nursery features large, airy rooms filled with natural light, a dedicated kindergarten space, and a recently renovated outdoor area.

We offer a range of benefits including a uniform, closure over Christmas, an employee of the month award, a 10% childcare discount, a refer-a-friend scheme, and Paycare staff healthcare cover.

£500 completion bonus and £1000 loyalty bonus after 1 year.

  • Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours
  • Level 3 Diploma for the Early Years Educator
