In 2012 we opened our first nursery. Today, kinderzimmer has over 30 locations that provide over 4,000 children a second home. After delivering first-class education and care in Germany for ten years, we are now taking what we do exceptionally well and coming over to the UK shores. We are a growing private nursery group that puts children’s well-being at the forefront of every action we take. Our approach combines world class child-care and sustainability. kinderzimmer ensures that every voice is heard, no matter how small! We pride ourselves on creating an exceptional environment for all staff, where individuality and uniqueness is not only encouraged but celebrated.

The setting

Nestled in a tranquil cul-de-sac, our spacious Grade II listed Georgian building is in a prime location that offers both peace and convenience. Equipped with a sprawling outdoor area, the nursery ensures that each child can play freely within a safe and secure environment. With a remarkable capacity to accommodate 116 children, we are dedicated to delivering exceptional care and individual attention to each and every child.

Step into our central dining room, a vibrant hub where children can immerse themselves in the joy of baking, food experiments, and delightful messy play. Moreover, our garden space is flourishing, serving as an ideal setting for children to explore the wonders of nature and foster a deep affection for gardening.

What you will be doing

• Support the nursery educators in implementing the EYFS curriculum, by organising and delivering enjoyable play and activities that encourage the children’s progress towards important developmental milestones.
• Collaborate with a larger team to ensure all necessary day-to-day duties are fulfilled in accordance with the nursery's requirements, such as maintaining cleanliness and preparing rooms.

• Oversee the children's well-being throughout the day, ensuring their safety.
• Collaborate with colleagues to establish and maintain a constructive, cheerful, and secure environment on a daily basis.

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;

• An opportunity to complete your Level 2 or Level 3 Qualification in Early Years
• A free childcare place for your child at a kinderzimmer nursery
• Annual bonuses for all employees, not just the managers!
• Access to 24 hour counselling

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.

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!
