Job description

Programme duration 15 months
Programme name Level 2 - Early Years Practitioner
We are a small, private, family-owned nursery setting, based in the idyllic village of Waverton, opposite St Peter’s Church on the outskirts of Chester. We are based in a beautiful Old School, which is part of the national heritage of England in a grade II listed building owned by the Duke of Westminster. Conveniently located on Chesters prime commuter routes (just off the A41) making for easy drop off and pick up on your way to and home from work, with plenty of parking outside of the nursery. The nursery is home to just over 50 children from the ages of birth to 5 years.

We don’t have busy and noisy classrooms instead we are incredibly lucky to have the charming character of an old school combined with the calm and peaceful surroundings of rural old Waverton, which we believe helps children to grow and develop to reach their full potential!

Being a small nursery, we can adapt and change to our family’s needs which at this busy and challenging time we know parents appreciate. We treat every child as unique and we work with you, as a family, to ensure your child has the very best education and care.
