Early Years Practitioner

There's something special about being at Toddletown. Take a look at our #bepartofthestory videos on our website to hear from staff & parents about what makes being at Toddletown so inspiring and rewarding. We've mentioned a few of them below for starters...

• We overstaff the nursery! Yes, that's right...we commit to being over ratio because we care about your wellbeing as much as the childrens'
• We pay very competitively - you deserve it! 
• We have the most amazing homely, free flow, curiosity led environment where staff and children alike get to explore and learn and be themselves! 

Toddletown Day Nursery, close to Godalming, has recently celebrated its 2nd birthday, and has quickly become the nursery of choice in the local area. We have a long-standing staff team who are highly qualified and exceptional at what they do. So much so that our waiting list extends beyond September 2023!

Our play-based curriculum meets all the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage and we strive to give every child the opportunity to develop in all areas of learning in a well-managed and happy environment with challenging but realistic tasks.

The team are looking forward to welcoming a new Early Years Practitioner to the team to join them in making learning fun and enjoyable every day for children and adults alike!

This Nursery Nurse position is available for candidates who have a Level 3 full and relevant qualification and can work between 8 - 40 hours per week. You read that right - if you can only work one a day a week because you have other commitments, we'd love to hear from you! For us it's about having the right people in our team who simply love what they do!

We are also interested in hearing from candidates who would like to develop a specialism in areas such as the below, and we will gladly pay for your training to pursue your dream!
