The Opportunity
Are you looking to start a rewarding career in childcare but don't have the formal qualifications yet? Choice Teachers is working with several welcoming nurseries in Aylesbury that are looking for passionate, reliable individuals to join their teams.
We believe that the right personality is just as important as a piece of paper. If you are nurturing, energetic, and ready to learn, we will support you in taking your first steps in the Early Years sector.
Your Day-to-Day
Working in a nursery is fast-paced, fun, and never boring. You will:
Support Learning: Assist senior staff in setting up creative play areas, messy play, and story-telling sessions.
Caring Duties: Help with mealtimes, keeping the environment clean, and ensuring the children feel safe and happy.
Outdoor Fun: Supervise garden play and local walks (we love a bit of fresh air!).
Observation: Help track the "milestones" of the children in your care, from their first words to their first steps.
Who We Are Looking For
You don't need a degree, but you do need:
A Positive Attitude: Someone who isn't afraid to get stuck in (and doesn't mind a bit of glitter or paint on their clothes!).
Reliability: The children and the team rely on you, so punctuality is key.
Experience (Desirable): Any experience with children—whether through babysitting, volunteering, or being a parent yourself—is a huge plus.
Willingness to Train: A desire to work towards a Level 2 or Level 3 Childcare qualification in the future.

Local Roles: We have positions across Aylesbury, from the town centre to Berryfields and Bierton.
Weekly Pay: Competitive hourly rates paid promptly every week.
