Relationships are at the heart of all we do. This role includes leading a key family of mixed age children. You will need to offer professional love to our children, and nurture each child’s individual needs and interests. You will be supported by our team of teachers to plan for the individual children in your care. We use our shared understanding of how children learn to form provocations that build on children’s interests. Working in partnership with parents and promoting the home learning environment is central to our work. We use online learning journals and hold regular meetings to share children’s learning, but find the best way to engage with parents is over a cup of coffee or at our family festival. Your working days will be busy, fun, creative, adventurous, exciting, fulfilling, inviting, caring so basically completely different to anything else you may have experienced. A full job description is available on request.
Here at Atelier we do things a little differently. We make no secret of the fact that we stand on the shoulders of many giants who have gone before us in the education of young children. The principles of the nursery are influenced from internationally recognised best practice. We have taken elements that we believe work best for children and families and rolled them into one special place; Atelier Nursery. We hold our values and visions close to our heart and these lead our daily practice and shape the care and teaching offered to each and every child. At Atelier, you won’t find a uniform or plastic toy insight. Instead you will find a space full of imagination and creativity, that carefully weaves all aspects of learning and development across our beautifully designed environments, that enable the youngest minds to flourish. When children join us they are invited to play and explore, to talk and question, to wonder and investigate, and to build the confidence to discover, create, and learn.
