Since opening our first nursery in June 2023, we’ve grown rapidly and have already earned Ofsted Outstanding status. We provide an inspiring environment where your career can flourish whilst nurturing our children’s independence, exploration and wonder.

The setting

Housed in a beautifully historic building, our nursery is at the heart of Berkhamsted. The site boasts tall ceilings and light-flooded spaces, with large symmetrical rooms that create a warm and welcoming environment. With a capacity of 92 children across all age groups, the nursery is bespoke in design, and provides a safe and nurturing environment for early years. Our central dining room offers the perfect space for baking, experimenting with food and engaging in messy play, while our growing space in the garden encourages children to learn about the natural world. Come and be part of our fun, engaging and supportive environment that nurtures children's physical, emotional, and social development.

What you will be doing

Cover in nursery rooms to release staff for their lunch breaks, maintaining a safe and stimulating environment for the children.

• Supervise children during lunchtime, ensuring their safety and well-being.
• Assist in setting up and tidying away lunch areas, including tables, chairs, and food service stations.
• Engage with children in positive interactions, encouraging good table manners and social skills.
• Support the nursery staff in implementing dietary guidelines and accommodating any special dietary needs or allergies among the children.

What we can offer you

Our playground could be your workplace. In exchange for your commitment, enthusiasm and passion you will get a lot in return, not just from the children, but from us also! kinderzimmer UK has a market-leading benefits package which is tailored to the individual employee's needs.

The benefits package includes but is not limited to;

• A free childcare or discounted place for your child at a kinderzimmer nursery
• Annual bonuses for all employees, not just the managers!
• Access to 24 hour counselling
• Workwear allowance
• Annual personal development budget
• Wellness day
• Annual subscriptions to market leading fitness and mental health apps
• And much much more!

Who you are

At kinderzimmer UK, we value individuality in all aspects of our team, including the pedagogical approach you take as an educator. We encourage broad and diverse adult thinkers, as we feel this allows us to accommodate a greater spectrum of children.

Rather than tell you what we are looking for, we prefer to find out more about you and encourage your pedagogical approach. With this information, we can then match you to the nursery room where your approach is not only welcomed, but given the room to flourish.

This role is ideally suited to someone who holds a full and relevant Level 2 or Level 3 qualification in Early Years.

Ask yourself;

• Are you a jump right in and get involved type of person?
• Or, would you rather take one step back, set out the work table with resources, and leave the children to explore independently?
• Or maybe you prefer to take two or three steps back, wanting to let the child choose his/her own task, and carry it out from start to finish unhindered by adult intervention?

Regardless of what your approach is, we are keen to find out about you!
