About Us:

It would suit a candidate who can drive due to the nursery’s location. Set in a beautiful rural area, Footsteps Nursery Canwell offers a warm and welcoming environment surrounded by open countryside. Our setting provides spacious outdoor play areas designed for children to explore in all weather.

We support children from birth to 5 years, encouraging them to learn, grow, and develop through a wide range of engaging activities and play-based learning opportunities. We place a strong emphasis on outdoor experiences, helping children build confidence and curiosity through nature-based play.

We are: Defined by Family

We’re a family by name, and a family by nature too. We are defined in many different ways by many different people — different cultures, ideas, ages, genders, and skillsets. Whilst every individual has their own definition of family, these all come together to show Family First for who we are.

This position would suit an experienced Nursery Practitioner who has previously worked in a similar environment caring for children aged 0–5 years and is looking for an exciting career opportunity.
