To ensure positive outcomes for children they will plan exciting learning experiences to motivate and engage children to learn through play, observe and plan responsively to identified need, assess and plan for children’s progress.

This post provides an opportunity for enthusiastic and motivated individuals to join our service at an exciting time of development and expansion within the Early Years Sector.

If you have the skills and experience to support the implementation of the Blueprint for 2020 to deliver: high quality Early Learning and Childcare, excellence and equity for all children with regard to the development of physical, cognitive and social skills. This will be delivered through high quality experience for children which complements other early years educational activity to close the attainment gap.
