Our school is a warm and inclusive community, built on the values of nurture, challenge, inspire, and achieve.
We believe in the power of play, exploration, and connection to give our youngest learners the very best start. If you are someone who brings creativity, warmth, and enthusiasm to early education (and is excited about shaping a new setting) we would love to hear from you.

A positive attitude that aligns with our values
Strong communication and interpersonal skills with children, families and staff
Confidence in supporting children’s development across the EYFS
A proactive, flexible, and professional team player
Good literacy, numeracy and IT skills
In Return, We Offer:
A chance to be part of a new, purpose-driven nursery within an established and supportive primary school
A welcoming, collaborative team who are passionate about early years education
Ongoing CPD and career progression opportunities, including routes into teaching
A beautiful, well-resourced learning environment with fantastic outdoor spaces
Children who are curious, kind and eager to explore
Health and Wellbeing Benefits:
A full induction package to support your transition into the role
A staff wellbeing culture that includes protected work-life boundaries (including an email curfew!)
Free tea and coffee—and a friendly team to share it with!
At South Wonston, we don’t just work with children—we grow alongside them. If you are excited about being part of something new and nurturing our nursery from the very beginning, we’d love to meet you.
