Nursery Assistant Vacancy (unqualified)

No qualifications necessary | 36 hrs over 4 days | £ Minimum wage

We’re looking for a friendly, enthusiastic Nursery Assistant to join our team at Blue Windmill Nursery in Rugby.

You don’t need a childcare qualification to apply. We’re interested in finding the right person – someone who genuinely enjoys being around children, is reliable, willing to learn and wants to make a difference.

If you’re interested in building a career in childcare, there may also be an opportunity to work towards a recognised Early Years qualification through an apprenticeship.

What will you be doing?

You’ll be a valued member of our nursery team, helping to create a happy, safe and stimulating environment for our children.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting children’s play, learning and development through everyday activities.
• Building positive relationships with children and their families.
• Taking responsibility for a small group of key children, including observations and developmental records, with appropriate support.
• Helping children with their personal care, meals and daily routines.
• Working alongside experienced practitioners to plan and deliver engaging activities.
• Making the most of our wonderful outdoor learning environment and gardens.
• Helping to maintain a safe, welcoming and well-organised nursery.

Safeguarding statement:
Blue Windmill Childcare Ltd is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and we expect all staff to share this commitment.

All roles are subject to an enhanced DBS check (including barred list), satisfactory references, right to work checks, and online screening in line with safer recruitment practices. We will seek full employment histories and require explanations for any gaps. Any concerns identified during the recruitment process may result in an offer being withdrawn.
