Royston Day Nursery is a welcoming and well-established setting located in the heart of the historic market town of Royston, with excellent links to local transport routes and the town centre.
We provide high-quality childcare for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years, offering a nurturing environment where children can explore, learn, and develop through a wide range of engaging activities that promote learning through play.
At the heart of everything we do is our ethos: Defined by Family. We are a family by name and by nature, shaped by a diverse team of individuals, experiences, and perspectives. Different cultures, ideas, ages, genders, and skillsets come together to create a supportive and inclusive environment that reflects who we are as Family First.
This opportunity would suit an experienced Nursery Practitioner who has previously worked in a similar setting supporting children aged 0–5 years and is looking to take the next step in their career within a supportive and engaging environment.
