Join Our Friendly Nursery Team

Rabbit Patch Day Nursery is looking for a caring, enthusiastic and committed Nursery Apprentice to join our friendly team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is passionate about working with young children and wants to develop their knowledge, skills and experience within a nurturing nursery environment.

As a Level 3 Nursery Apprentice, you will work alongside experienced practitioners while completing your qualification and gaining valuable hands-on experience. You will also take on the important role of Key Person, building positive and trusting relationships with children and their families.

Rabbit Patch was originally created to provide care for children aged 2 years and up, but over time we were asked to expand and lower our age range to provide care for younger children and siblings. The building has had to adapt accordingly, and it amazes me to see how it has kept up.

There are good transport links to and from the Nursery
