We’re Hiring! Come Join Our Wonderful Team at Abbeymead Under 5s Playgroup!

Are you passionate about working with young children and looking for a fun, rewarding role in a friendly setting? We’d love to hear from you!

Abbeymead Under Fives are a charity, committee-led, small friendly local playgroup with a big heart. Our team is supportive, welcoming, and dedicated to creating a nurturing and exciting environment for our children to learn and grow.

We are looking for someone to join our Rising 3s Room (ages 2 – 3 years) – a lively, curious, and fun group of little learners. You will be working alongside a great team, helping to create engaging activities and supporting children in their early development.

The ideal candidate will have a minimum Level 2 qualification in Childcare, experience of working with children aged 2 – 3 years (preferred) and have a good understanding of the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage). You will have the ability to plan and support fun, engaging, and age-appropriate activities, have a warm, caring and nurturing approach, strong communication skills with children, parents, and colleagues and the ability to work well as part of a team. You will have a knowledge of safeguarding and child protection procedures, with a willingness to undertake training and continued professional development and be reliable, punctual, and enthusiastic.

If you love working with children, enjoy being part of a close-knit team, and want to make a real difference every day, this could be the perfect role for you.

We look forward to hearing from you.
