Casual Early Years Educator

I'm proud to lead a passionate and dedicated team focused on providing a nurturing environment where every child can thrive. We work closely to help our children develop the confidence, skills, and independence they need to be ready for school and beyond. Our outdoor learning space is truly remarkable-offering children the chance to explore, play, and connect with nature every day. Inside and out, our unique environments-from the indoor marketplace to the outdoor post office, petrol station, and village shop-spark creativity and support learning through play. How you'll spend your time here You'll be helping to provide cover for the children as and when needed. This could be for periods of holiday, sickness, or even vacancy gaps. Sometimes you'll support for a full day, or it may just be a morning or afternoon session. You'll likely start most of your days with a fully formulated plan.... That will soon get completely derailed though... Pivoting when the circumstances call for it is a regular occurrence in child care! Creativity is key. Teaching young children allows for hands on arts and crafts, storytelling, exercise, and educational games. It's important to keep things fresh and try new activities to keep attention spans engaged. Of course we work within the EYFS standards, but that doesn't stop you from engaging your creative flair and enthusiasm for learning.
