Re: Application for Nursery Assistant role

Dear Sir/Madam or Specific Name,

I am writing to apply for the Nursery Assistant position I have seen advertised on daynurseries.co.uk.

This position is of interest to me as I am looking to begin my career in the childcare sector and your nursery looks like a great fit for me.

Whilst I have no formal experience in the childcare sector, I have assisted my parents in looking after my younger siblings and have been babysitting in my spare time for the last 2 years. I consider myself to be an empathetic and caring person who loves to look after people.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my application. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Your Name
