Flitwick Day Nursery.

Nursery Assistant    |          40 hours          |          £23,920 per annum

Are you enthusiastic, creative, and love working with children? Flitwick Day Nursery is looking for a Nursery Assistant to join our team in the Foxes Room, working with our energetic and curious 2-3-year-olds!

In this role, you’ll be supporting little ones as they reach key development milestones, sparking their imagination, and helping them explore the world through play. Whether it’s creating awe and wonder, telling the same story 20 times with excitement, or transforming a simple box into a magical castle, every day will be an adventure!

In this role, you’ll help children reach important milestones, ignite their imaginations, and encourage them to explore the world through play. From reading the same story 20 times with excitement, singing nursery rhymes with gusto, or transforming a cardboard box into a magical castle, every day brings new adventures and joy.

At Flitwick Day Nursery, no two days are the same. You’ll spend your time getting hands-on with playdough, building towers, creating mark-making masterpieces, and encouraging imaginative play both indoors and in our lovely garden space.

Our nursery is located on Steppingley Road in Flitwick, just a short walk from the train station, making it convenient and easy to reach.

We’re looking for someone who finds fun in the little things, loves working with young children, and wants to make a positive impact on their early years. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
